Immersed in Charlieís world of drag-racing and souped-up cars, Sonja is burning to experience the thrill of the race too. But first she needs a driversí license. And a car. As she falls deeper for Charlie and the stoner sixties topple into the frantic 70s, Sonja plunges into an existential crisis as her dreams and plans hit one ditch after another.
