Motocross is Eva’s life. Nothing beats the rush she feels ripping it up on the course - except maybe the moment just after the race when she removes her helmet, and the other riders realise they just got smoked by a twelve-year-old girl.
While fear of bullying leads Eva to keep her passion a secret at school, she’s known in the local racing circuit as “Eva Knievel,” a brazen competitor willing to risk it all to win. But when her daredevil behaviour leaves her with a bruised ego and a busted bike, Eva is forced to reckon with the high costs of her beloved sport - financial, physical, and emotional.
As if that reality check weren't harsh enough, there's a new girl at school whose arrival not only threatens Eva's carefully crafted school persona, but her place on the podium, too.
