Five years ago, atop the snow-capped Sonoma Mountains, Jack, the five-time champion racing legend, was secretly sabotaged by Marcus, the young gang leader, who detonated his brakes just as victory was within reach. Jack and his car plunged off the cliff, and he vanished without a trace. Five years later, he became a lame handyman at an oil field repair shop—until an urgent shipment of parts and Leah, the daughter of an old friend, dragged him back onto the racetrack. Leaping over a train at a wild railroad crossing, pulling off an extreme drift through a wall of flaming torches, taking a single-sided bend along the cliff edge of an unfinished building, reversing to strike back from the narrow gap between two armored cars, Jack gambled with his life and won streak after streak by the rules of underground street racing, crushing the Skull Riders. Enraged, Marcus kidnapped Leah and set up a heavily armed death trap on the same snow mountain where Jack had crashed five years prior. In the end, Jack pulled off an impossible curve amid the blizzard, sending Marcus and his car hurtling down the icy cliff. He brought down the Wraith Gang's illegal gold racket and returned in glory as the racing legend he once was.
