With the support of his best friend and girlfriend, Cale manages to juggle his passion for his sport with two jobs, in order to help his single mother pay the bills. But on the eve of the national competition, a family tragedy strikes, potentially signifying the end of a dream. In this riveting coming-of-age story, Cale's fierce loyalty to his family and intense passion to ride helps him to overcome the odds as he courageously takes care of his mother”and the challenge of the circuit”to fulfill his ambition.
