Story
In the city of Fortune Valley, skilled driver Tyler Morgan and his crew, including off-roader Sean MacAllister, spy Jessica Miller, and mechanic Ravindra Chaudhry, thrive in the underground world of street racing. When a job arranged by race fixer Lina Navarro ends in a shocking betrayal, Ty and his crew join forces with a veteran driver known as the Gambler, Marcus Weir, to plot their revenge against the House, the cartel that controls Fortune Valley's underground. Their path to payback runs through the Outlaw's Rush, a high-stakes street race where the region's elite drivers compete against one another.
