Alex (Mircea Monroe) is a young woman from a small town whose goal in life is to follow in the footsteps of her late father and become a professional race car driver. First she must overcome her fear of turn number 8, the same turn that took her father’s life, and arrive at a place emotionally and physically that will allow her to drive with the skill required to compete for an open slot on a professional racing team’s roster. Her Uncle Bill (Dwier Brown), the Chief Steward at the local track, does not want Alex to wind up like her father and will do everything in his power to keep her off the track and out of the sport in order to protect her. Alex explores her demons and in trying to overcome them, she learns what it means to be a responsible adult and look at life independently of what has happened in the past.
