Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross-country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins.
Framed by an ex-partner for a murder he did not commit, Tobey Marshall, a financially struggling custom-car builder and street-racer, spends two years in jail thinking about one moment. Fresh out of prison he reacquires the fastest car his workshop ever built and sold, and seeks to enter a secretive and extremely high-stakes race known as The DeLeon. His purpose; redemption, recognition from the world of racing and to solve his problems. Yet all this fades in comparison to his driving reason. Revenge. Above all, revenge. This is a story about love, redemption, revenge and motor oil all swirled togetherWritten by

During the De Leon, after the P1 is flipped, we hear Monarch say "This ain't just about racing". After that, the shot changes to Dino in his Elemento. We see him shift once. Right before and after he "shifts" and the engine sound effect changes, we see that the gear no. on the HUD is still 4. The shot then changes to the Agera and back to the Elemento. This time, we see him "shift" twice and the sound effect changes. After the second shift, we can see his gear no. is still at 4. The shot changes to the Agera for a brief while, and back to Dino. When he is catching up, he shifts once and another time when right behind the Agera. The Sesto Elemento is 6-speed and we don't see or hear him downshift anytime. By this count the gear count goes to 4+1+2+1+1 which is a ridiculous 9 gears. See more »
