Sonny Haze, nicknamed "The Best Who Never Was," was the most promising Formula One phenomenon of the 1990s until a track accident nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he has become a wandering mercenary driver. One day, Ruben Cervantes, Sonny's former teammate and owner of a failing Formula One team, approaches him. Ruben convinces Sonny to return to give the team one last chance to save itself and prove that he can still be the best in the world. His racing partner is Joshua Pearce, a bright rookie determined to set his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny's past creeps closer, and he realizes that in Formula One, your teammate is also your fiercest rival, and the path to redemption cannot be traveled alone.
