Plot

The passion for engines has always flowed in Giulia De Martino's veins. She comes from a family that has been producing motor racing champions for generations. She too is a driver, an exceptional talent who, at the age of seventeen, took part in the GT Championship, under the guidance of her father Mario.

But one day everything changes and Giulia finds herself having to face the track and life alone.

Complicating the situation is the unexpected return of her brother Loris, a former driver by now totally unreliable, but with an extraordinary sixth sense for driving. They will be forced to work together, in a succession of adrenaline and emotions that will make them discover how difficult and important it is to try to be a family.
