Four friends – Katie, Mike, Nicole and Eric go to work in the daytime, like most of us, but at night they have a completely different nightlife. Katie works in auto shop inherited from her father, who spent a lot of years repairing a vintage Mustang. Mike is a pizza guy. Nicole is a young woman, married to a rich man a lot older than her. Eric is a police officer. Street racing, freedom, sex, exciting chases and easy money – it’s all there in the lives of four street racers. Speed is the real life for them.

They both have chronic dissociation syndrome, because they had very difficult childhood due to their mother, who was hippie and was only interested in sexual pleasure, what was reflected on the lives of her sons… In addition, Bruno and Michael – each in his own way – overcome their sexual limitations. One is a sexual deviant, and the other is a sexy virgin. Maybe that’s why Michael seeks to make a world free from the sex-related problems: he wants to bring a new breed of people, who wouldn’t be oppressed with this topic. Confirmation of the relevance of his scientific research is precisely his preventive brother Bruno…
