Skid

Does Samantha deserve to live her dream?

On a dark rainy highway, 16-year-old Samantha drove the car that killed her dad. Convinced she was spared for a reason, Samantha dedicates her life to becoming what her dad always planned her to be...a racing champion.

Samantha bluffs her way into a car testing session and convinces the owner of a German Formula One team to take a huge chance on her. Disturbed about the owner's decision, the team manager does everything he can to pressure Samantha to quit. But Samantha's tenacity, drive, and raw talent win him over. Well..he'll at least give her a shot at one race.

Samantha shocks the old boy's club of Formula One as she wins in Canada, France, Germany, Singapore, and the UK. Her dream of becoming a racing champion is now within reach.

But Ferrari legend Emilio Ronaldo will have none of that. Seven-time world champion. The best of the best. A talent with no equal. Emilio will not let some smart-ass teenage girl who's full of herself keep him from taking what's always been his.

Besides, no girl has the guts to compete on his level.

To beat the best of the best, Samantha must take on the rain-slick curves of Spa, a racing track famous for killing drivers. Winning will fulfill her promise to dad and make the girl a legend. Losing will prove to the world that girls don't belong on a race track.

Now if Samantha could only get her hands to stop shaking on the steering wheel.
