Machiko Taniguchi has her life mapped out: pre-med track, perfect grades, and the responsible daughter image her parents expect. The Corvette in her garage? Just a side project. The summer job at Executive Auto? Just a little pastime. That one race Aubrey convinces her to run? Just some quick cash.
Except nothing stays "just" anything once she gets behind the wheel.
One race for money turns into two for pride, then ten because she can't stop chasing that green light. Suddenly she's balancing detailing luxury cars with hunting new racers to wager after hours. Stephanie's taping every run. Yumi's throwing her the keys to cars worth more than her tuition. Aubrey keeps saying "just one more." Her parents? Still think she's studying.
Then there's the girl in the BMW who keeps appearing in her rearview mirror. She's all confidence and devastating smiles, making Machiko's heart race faster than any engine. She promises they'll meet again- but not to race.
Now Machiko's caught between the daughter she's supposed to be and the driver she was destined to be, between walking away and wanting more of everything she never planned for.
Some lines blur faster than others when you're running from yourself.
