So, the brash young girl, with the help of her robotic mechanic and best friend, SLIC, devises a plan to enter the race under the alias Pilot Zer in hopes of proving to her father that she's up to the challenge. But Chassis' daring decision only leads to more danger for her Father, and her friends as it rips apart the only life she's ever known.
