It's 1919 and the West Coast echoes with the screams of motorcycle engines flying around mile-long oval tracks of sand and wood. These are the Murderdromes - the proving grounds where young men push stripped-down, souped-up Harley Davidsons and Indians to, and sometimes beyond, their limits.
But these are also the sanctuaries where Jonathan Hartshorn, a British motorcycle messenger, pulled fresh from the battlefields of World War 1, tries to find his purpose in a war-weary world. When he's on the track, the only thing that matters are the boards in front of him; not the thousands of fans, not the fierce rivals he's made. That is, until the day a massive accident at the fastest track on the coast threatens to tear what's left of his humanity to pieces.
