"You made me feel something again - you brought me back to life."
Max Verstappen, reigning Formula One champion, is devastated when a tragic call leaves him to care for his young nephews. Struggling with grief, he steps away from racing and isolates himself, trying to hold his shattered life together.
Charles Leclerc, his somehow friend but mainly rival, is shocked by Max's withdrawal from the sport. While being on the peak of his performance, he sees Max spiral into despair. Charles is determined to help him heal, risking everything to bring Max back to life, and maybe, to love.
In the high-octane world of Formula One, where every second counts, two souls are drawn together by love, loss, and the hope of healing. Will Charles be able to break through Max's walls and help him rediscover the joy of life, or will fear and heartache keep them apart?
Slipping down a dark path can be pretty self-destructive. Especially when you can't come out.
"I need you, Charles... I need you now".
