The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country race against time-one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. In a last attempt to save his struggling garage, blue-collar mechanic Tobey Marshall-who with his team skillfully builds and races muscle cars on the side-reluctantly partners with wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster. Just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet looks like it will save the business, a disastrous, unsanctioned race results in Dino framing Tobey for manslaughter. Two years later and fresh out of prison, Tobey is set on revenge with plans to take down Dino in the high-stakes De Leon race-the Super Bowl of underground racing. To get there in time, Tobey must run a high-octane, action-packed gauntlet, dodging cops coast-to-coast and dealing with fallout from a dangerous bounty Dino put on his car. With his loyal crew and the surprisingly resourceful Julia as allies, Tobey defies odds at every turn and proves that even in the flashy world of exotic supercars, the underdog can still finish first.

Plot
Tobey Marshall is a former race car driver who owns a Mount Kisco, New York garage, where he and his friends tune performance cars. Struggling to make ends meet, he and his crew participate in street races after hours. One day, Dino Brewster, Tobey's former rival, arrives at his garage in a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren with an offer to complete the build of a rare Ford Shelby Mustang worked on by the late Carroll Shelby.Dino wants Tobey and his crew to complete the project in exchange for 25% of the car's estimated selling price of $2 million. Despite objections from the crew, Tobey agrees to the deal.
Upon completion of the project, the Shelby Mustang is put up for auction at a party. Tobey and Dino meet Julia, an Englishwoman who agrees to pay $3 million if the car can go over 230 mph, as Tobey claims. The next morning at a nearby track, Tobey gets the Mustang to reach 234 mph, prompting Julia to purchase it for $2.7 million. Later, Dino challenges Tobey and his partner Little Pete to race his uncle's three illegally imported Koenigsegg Agera R from his mansion to a bridge over Interstate 684.If Tobey wins, he gets Dino's 75% of the Mustang deal; if he loses, he gives up his 25%. During the race, Dino tags Little Pete's car, sending it to flip down a ravine before bursting into flames. Dino disappears from the scene, and Tobey is sent to jail for involuntary manslaughter, as there is no evidence pointing to Dino's involvement.
Two years later, Tobey is released on parole and he sets out to avenge Little Pete's death. He is able to borrow the Shelby Mustang he had worked on from Julia. Tobey and Julia set to enter the De Leon, a winner-take-all race organized by local DJ Monarch; for this, they have to reach San Francisco before the race starts in two days. The Shelby Mustang causes an interstate chase with police and other racers,as Dino offers his rare Lamborghini Sesto Elemento to anyone who can stop Tobey from entering the race,which prompts a huge number of street racers trying to kill Tobey.
Tobey and Julia manage to reach Utah, only to have their Shelby Mustang forced off-road by a couple of trucks that surround it by a cliff, which drivers are also for Dino's prize, but Maverick, a member of Tobey's crew, appears in a helicopter he stole from the National Guard and tows the Shelby Mustang mid-air to the Bonneville Salt Flats, where Tobey's crew awaits them. Maverick is later arrested by the military for theft of the helicopter.
After a long drive, Tobey and Julia manage to arrive in San Francisco to register for the race, but Julia has to be hospitalized as a result of the murder attempt by Dino's men by ramming the Mustang with a truck. Meanwhile, Anita, Dino's girlfriend and Little Pete's sister, has become aware of Dino's plans. She searches his computer and discovers the Koenigsegg Agera R, which Dino drove when Little Pete was killed, is stored in a local warehouse. Anita gives Tobey the location of the car, as well as her engagement ring from Dino, and tells him to inform Dino that she is through with him for the death of her brother. Since the Mustang is totaled, Tobey proceeds to take the Koenigsegg.
The next morning, Tobey surprises Dino by not only showing up in the Koenigsegg, but also giving him Anita's ring. Following a grueling race where several cars are eliminated (such as a GTA Spano, a Bugatti Veyron, a McLaren P1, and a Saleen S7) Tobey and Dino race side-by-side along the Pacific Coast Highway.Dino attempts to push Tobey off the road, but Tobey slams the brakes, causing Dino's car to crash and catch fire. Tobey sees the finish line, but turns around to pull Dino from the flames. After rescuing his adversary, Tobey does finish and win the race, but then both of them are arrested by the California Highway Patrol. With the missing Koenigsegg found, Dino is sent to jail for little Pete's death. Tobey serves six months in prison for illegal street racing before he is once again released and reunites with Julia in a 2015 Ford Mustang.The film ends as the couple heads to Utah to the military prison where Maverick is getting released early for good behavior because he started a fitness program for the inmates.
