Sam Harlow, a young and ambitious kart racer from the small town of Alston, dreams of making it to Formula 1. His journey collides with Mia Fletcher, a reserved but determined student who recently moved to Alston with her family. As Sam races toward his dreams, their budding connection becomes a grounding force amidst the pressures of ambition, love, and sacrifice. Set against the backdrop of small-town life and the high-octane world of motorsport, their story is one of growth, missteps, and the complexities of navigating relationships in the face of personal aspirations.

That is until a mysterious girl from a small part of the world changes everything. Drawn into each other's worlds, Summer and Lando must navigate fame, distance, and their vastly different lives to see if love can find its place in the fast lane. UPDATED AS OFTEN AS I CAN! LOVE YOU ALL!
