How far would you go to save something you love?
Jay is an outsider at school and lonely at home. The only time she feels truly alive is when she is out riding, galloping with the wind in her hair and the drum of hooves on the ground beneath her.

Jay and Manhattan both need one more chance. Together, they must battle the hostile world of racing where winning or losing will change their lives forever.
Racing Manhattan is an epic, emotional story of speed, spirit and the power of love.
