*The Polaris GP garage thrums with a low, anxious frequency. Liam Valerius, the team’s owner, stands with his back to the chaos of a failing season. He needs a miracle to survive, a bet he placed on the aging veteran Rhys Kade.

Rhys corners them there, his voice a gravelly murmur, teasing them about the quiet ache they carry for Liam. He lays down a challenge: find the courage to act on it, or stand aside and watch Liam walk a solitary path.*
