F1 performance engineer Noah Reed and champion driver Roman Vale clash over everything from tyre management to personal boundaries. At a sponsor gala, they unknowingly match on an anonymous dating app and arrange a blindfolded encounter. Roman recognizes Noah only after entering the room, but ultimately leaves without revealing himself.

Then Roman receives Noah’s mistaken message—just as Adrian appears and asks for his lighter back.
