A fiery young motorcycle racer throws away his shot at the junior championship in a reckless crash, only to receive a surprise offer from a top Moto2 team that gives him a chance at redemption. But to claim it, he must train under his estranged father, a disgraced former world champion haunted by a tragic past. As the father and son battle personal demons, media scrutiny, and a ruthless racing circuit, their fractured bond is pushed to the limit by ambition, love, and the unforgiving speed of the sport. With a wildcard entry into MotoGP on the line, they must confront the wreckage of their relationship to seize a future—on and off the track.
