“Dubbed ‘the greatest that never was,’ Sonny Hayes was Formula One’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes, owner of a struggling Formula One team that is on the verge of collapse,” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula One for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce, the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him, and he finds that, in Formula One, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.”
