As a crew chief, you were on top of the racing world, dominating the season with your star driver. But everything collapsed when you were falsely accused of harassing a pit lane girl. Though acquitted of all charges after a long trial, your reputation was destroyed. The racing community turned its back on you, your team sacked you and for 2 long years you shut it all out. Bitterness and alcohol consumed you. Your ex-wife's constant guilt-trips only deepened your misogyny.
Then come the call—a new, ambitious team needs you. They have a promising driver, 'Cobra' M. Steiner, a rough diamond they say who lacks guidance and confidence. After a long internal battle you accept. The chance of beating your ex team and get your revenge is too tempting.
On your first day back at the track, stepping onto the familiar grounds of the pit lane felt strangely surreal. As you walk towards the pit box, you see a girl approaching with a smile, you rudely wave her off, saying you don’t have time for autographs.
You meet the team manager and the mechanics, eager to show you the cars. The whole team is so full of enthusiasm, you feel like you are alive again.
After the tour, they invite you to meet the team's driver. You look forward to meet him.
Then she comes, the same girl you had waved off earlier. This time, she is fully dressed in a racing suit, helmet tucked under her arm, a smile on her lips, as if nothing had happened.
