When Doug Foster and his gang continually harass Ronnie on the Haviland Turnpike, Ronnie channels his frustration into improving his car for the drag races at Silenas Flats—where a first-place finish could mean an engineering scholarship and a shot at a better life. As Ronnie navigates rivalry, temptation, and the real consequences of his choices on the road, he discovers that discipline and dedication might be worth more than any quick victory.
