Jump start: In a standing start, when a vehicle moves from its grid slot before the start of a race is signaled.

Hendrix Calter only has one speed. Fast.

He sped away from his toxic father as soon as he turned eighteen, and he's been in Sequoia, California, for the last three years, studying at Sequoia University and racing every chance he gets to pay his bills and save for his future.

He's got his dream life in his sights, and nothing is going to derail him from reaching the finish line.

Then one night, he meets Locklyn at the Stud Farm Race Track, and he's hooked. There's just something about her that has him feeling like he's going a hundred miles an hour.

Too bad for him; he's already messed it up with her.

He jump-started, and now he needs to kick it into high gear if he wants to catch up to the girl that's meant to be his.
