Baker is a champion-level race car driver who is ordered by his team owner to test and coach a young prospective driver for the day. Baker is already testing out heralded prospect Lacy Summers, who hails from a racing family. But the new driver, JD Marshall, is an unknown quantity. Baker isn't keen to put these younger drivers through their paces, as he realizes they may replace him. But he's beholden to the team owner. JD struggles with the intensity of the driving and Baker's abrasive style of coaching, but finds his footing with help and encouragement from Lacy. It's enough for the team owner to offer a spot to JD -- but only if he commits considerable financial resources. Baker is angry that the upstart's familial wealth gets him a spot, as he confronts the harsh financial realities of his sport and makes a choice about his future with the team.
