It's February 1997 and British Motorcycle racing rookie JAKE 'JAKEY' SMITH is on a mission. Having had a miserable debut year into the harsh and unforgiving world of motor racing, he is nonetheless determined that he will become world champion one day soon. His obvious talent and determination has attracted the attention of PAUL WILLIAMS, who just happens to be manager of one of the best race teams in the business.
