"Life ain't a warranty, dude. It don't expire if you burn a little rubber."—Riley O'Hara
In the oil-stained heartbeat of Chicago’s blue-collar shadows, Riley O'Hara lives life at full throttle. By day, she’s a mechanic major barely scraping through lectures at Ravenhill Academy; by night, she’s wrenching miracles at Benny’s Garage, her calloused hands fluent in the language of engines. With her signature ’98 Camaro, a laugh like a revving motor, and a loyalty fiercer than a welded joint, Riley’s world is built on three things: cold beer, 90s rap, and the chaotic crew she protects like a pit crew chief.
But Riley’s got secrets buried deeper than engine grease. She still watches F1 races alone, mourning a childhood dream her parents’ triple shifts couldn’t fund. When her apprenticeship hangs by a thread thanks to failing grades, and a slick corporate garage threatens to bulldoze Benny’s, Riley’s “fix anything” ethos hits its limit.
With her friends rallying at her side, a stolen torque wrench, and a junk-yard gamble that could save everything she loves, she’ll learn that some dreams don’t die—they just need a new transmission.
