Trailer Reactions
Scored from what 17 creators said on camera while watching the trailer, out loud, in their own YouTube reaction videos. A proprietary Reactr score. How the score works
Action · Drama
In a forgotten desert town, a solitary racetrack janitor with a gift for drifting is haunted by his tragic past. Given a single chance to compete at a pro drifting event, he discovers his raw talent is useless without the one thing he's always avoided: connection with others. Under a hardened mentor, he must learn to trust his found family and transform his untamed, lonely art into a dangerous dance of partnership, or be consumed and controlled by the past he's desperate to escape.
