Top British racing driver Tyler Jones arrives in Shanghai for the Chinese Grand Prix. His life is made up of airports, hotels, racetracks, corporate events and brolly dollies. For Tyler, Shanghai is no different from Bahrain or Melbourne. He's happy to toe the corporate party line as long as he can do what he lives to do: race cars. But when he meets and falls for Chinese dissident Pin-de, their worlds collide. Racing ambition seems suddenly futile set against Pin-de's struggle for survival. How can he square his newfound awareness about the reality of life and death in China, and help Pin-de, without losing everything he has?

Cast: Andres Williams, Lourdes Faberes, Lucy Sheen, Barry Stanton and Benedict Wong.
