Before Formula 1 was sold-out grandstands and flashing cameras, it was tiny karting tracks, late-night drives, and a little girl sitting beside her grandfather learning telemetry she was too young to understand.
It was also a loud British boy named Lando Norris sneaking her snacks between races and making her laugh when nobody else could.
Then one terrible weekend changes everything.
Her grandfather dies during a race trip.
And somehow, her family decides it's her fault.
Grief turns their home into something cold and unrecognizable, and over the years she slowly learns how to disappear from herself.
Meanwhile, Lando's world only gets louder.
Formula 1. Fame. Pressure. Expectations.
But no matter how much time passes, no matter how many calls go unanswered or years slip between them, he never really stops looking for her.
Until one night, her name flashes across his phone again.
"Come get me."
And he does. Immediately.
