There is no such thing as simple love

DramaRomance

Three amateur dirt-bike racers each fall in love with a young woman who, with her brother, sells French fries and hotdogs at the races. Everyone is looking for a better life: she wants out of the business and away from her brother; and the motocross racers want to make their marks as professionals in their sport.

VIBE

A raw, yearning drama about striving for more. It captures the gritty allure of youthful ambition and the messy pursuit of love and success against a backdrop of working-class struggles and the dusty tracks of competitive racing.
