A drag racer's life is turned upside-down after a near fatal car crash, leaving him paraplegic. Joseph Jenkins (Michael Rosander), thinks his life is over, but while in the hospital, he meets Elijah Salisbury (Gregory Alan Williams), who gives him a new perspective on life and helps get him back to living. When Joseph returns home, an old friend of his father's, Paul Sharpe (John Schneider) steps in and helps him back into a race car, and teaches him how to race all over again.
