Synopsis

Death doesn't scare rally driver Alex Bold; dying without ever having taken first place does. When he's diagnosed with cancer, Alex won't settle for a permanent pit stop in chemotherapy. He enters one last big race with fellow patient Lucy as his co-driver: together they'e got nothing to lose. But they weren't expecting a starting line-up that includes a mafia kingpin, a ruthless rival and, in the UK car, a pair of would-be master thieves. Throw in unpredictable symptoms and a bungling manager, and it’s clear the ride of their lives is going to be anything but smooth.
