17-year-old Kennin Burnett is new to Las Vegas but far from new to illegal street racing. He tries to avoid getting swept up into the life that has brought him grief in the past, but he is just too good a driver - and too much in love with cars - to resist.

The cops cracked down on illegal races, and now the only street racing around is at the hottest casino on the strip. The casino owner is starting his own high-stakes, high-payoff drift team—and there's little he wouldn't do to have Sin City's best drifter. Kennin's under pressure to quit the scene and get his life back on track. But when he's offered five grand to fix his ride—and the promise of enough cash to take care of his problems—Kennin knows exactly what he has to do. No matter what the catch.
