Ethan (Cantona James) is a 17-year-old driver working as a driver with local Lavender Hill gang boss Damien (Elton Landrew).
But Ethan discovers a new stage for his driving skills when spinning crew mechanic Shane (Dillon Windvogel) shows him what you can really do with a set of wheels.
The concept of spinning is simple: send your car spinning in circles while still maintaining complete control – and then hop out and strike a pose while the car continues to encircle you in tyre smoke.
Ethan has to choose his future and his destiny, as he gets pulled deeper into both dangerous worlds when a gang war looms.
