Christopher Boomer just turned 19. He works for the local mechanic Jim Myers along the side of Jenny, Jim's daughter. Jim asked Chris to help him build a derby car, but he wanted Chris to drive it. Chris was not for it at all, for 10 years earlier his own father had died while running in demolition derby. And as he takes on Rob Smith Jr. and his derby crew amidst the back drop of a small town, he finds himself caught up in the middle of a drama between two rival ladies, and with the help of his friends, he soon discovers that he is more like his dad than he realized, coming to terms with the ghost of his past as he learns the ropes of demolition derbies and fully embraces his father's legacy in this adventure of twisted metal, roaring engines, and high impact hitting! It's a heartfelt, action packed, suspenseful, funny, thrill ride for all ages.
