Buck Reilly's plans for a romantic getaway are turned upside down when he's asked to come to Italy by Sir Harry Greenbaum, his former main investor, and old family friend, to do a flyover at the beginning of the Formula 1 race in Monza. Turns out the real reason Harry asked him to come was to help him combat organized crime members intent on forcing their way into his pending investment into one of the Formula 1's most historic teams. When Harry gets kidnapped, Buck scours northern Italy searching for him, battling with his captors, and taking matters into his own hands to try and rescue his friend.

If everything isn't settled by the end of the race in Monza, Harry's deal will be dead, and so will he and Buck. When they try to outmaneuver the head of the crime syndicate, thousands of lives are thrust into immediate jeopardy. Buck's race against time puts him in the most extreme danger he has ever faced, and if he's successful, will help him solve the greatest mystery of his life.
