Twenty-year-old racer, Zephyrine Vance, also known as the "Queen of the Track," is a brilliant engineering student who builds fast cars and wins dangerous, illegal street races. A year ago, her former team, Vanguard Racing, framed her for a crime she did not commit, turning the whole world against her. A year later, after Zephyrine has been cleared of all charges, she joins a new team called Apex Alpha, where she meets her new teammate, Cassian Sterling, a rich, golden-haired college boy who looks like a friendly golden retriever. Zephyrine dislikes him at first, but she is later forced to agree to a deal to train him to become a better racer. As they spend late nights racing and working on cars together, Zephrine and Cassian fall in love. But their peace does not last because Amanda Lin, Apex Alpha team engineer and Cassian’s jealous best friend, steals Zephyrine's private medical files and leaks her deepest fears to her former racing team, Vanguard Racing. Vanguard Racing tries to use these secrets to destroy Zephyrine’s career for good, alongside her estranged professor parents, who also take advantage of this exposed secret to expel their own child from St. Jude University. Now, Zephrine is at a crossroads. She must choose between dropping out of an international race to save Apex Alpha's future or fulfilling her dream to become the best international female racer in the world.
