Any mistake and he dies! A blink, a twitch, a split second lapse and the Formula One car he drives crosses death's finish line. So a daredevil racer buries his feelings and forgets his past - until a reckless, passionate woman - also living in death's shadow shows him life's possibilities to the fullest.
