After an accident during which his co-driver is seriously injured, and with the date of the most important race of the season inexorably approaching, Alex's manager is desperately searching for a replacement co-driver. Alex wants to race at all costs, despite the explicit ban on driving imposed by his doctor. He has been racing for 15 years, but the greatest achievement has always escaped him by a hair's breadth. After a fated encounter with a girl, he surprisingly decides that she--the totally inexperienced Lucy (Olga Lounová)--will be his co-driver in this race of a lifetime, and she is also committed to victory.
