Grief brought them together.
Reality keeps pulling them apart.
After losing her brother in a racing accident, Elouise Marie Clarke never expected to return to the world that took him from her. But when an opportunity with Ferrari changes everything, she finds herself back in the Formula 1 paddock, surrounded by old memories and people carrying wounds of their own.
As the season unfolds, friendships deepen, hearts become tangled, and the line between comfort and something more begins to blur.
But some feelings arrive at the wrong time.
And some truths take too long to say out loud.
A slow-burn story of grief, healing, friendship, and love that refuses to stay simple.
