“Feng’s Auto Repair” in Panlong Village is on the brink of bankruptcy and buried in debt. Young Xiaofeng tends the family’s ancestral shop, delivering parts and collecting scrap metal in a beat-up Wuling on the treacherous “Eighteen Bends of the Dragon’s Spine.” He’s honed an uncanny ability to navigate mountain roads by listening to the wind.
One day, he stumbles into the underground “Dragon’s Spine Night Race” and discovers the wild world of roaring engines: his hot-blooded brother A Jie’s heavily modified little car, the race car sealed away by Big Sister Hong, who’s hiding a secret, the mountain-road mysteries hinted at by the unassuming old village chief, and Young Master Chen, the arrogant heir to a tourism company who looks down on everyone from behind the wheel of a million-yuan luxury car.
When the development plan from Cloudtop Tourism threatens to turn the “Soul of the Dragon’s Spine,” a place steeped in speed and nostalgia, into a paid attraction, Xiaofeng’s repair shop is the first to be affected!
To protect his family’s legacy and fuel his burning passion, he throws himself into the fray. No supercar? Then he’ll personally bring an abandoned domestic hot hatch back to life! No money? His superb skills and reputation for loyalty are capital! No fame? Then he’ll carve his legend into the Eighteen Bends with his tires!
From a beat-up Wuling to the “King of the Dragon’s Spine,” from a mechanic whose shop is on the verge of closing to a “racing god” who shakes up the scene, Xiaofeng uses his wrench and steering wheel to forge a path to victory amid roaring engines and a siege by big capital!
“This road carries more than speed. It carries home!”
