Ethan is a 17-year-old driver of a local gang, run with an iron fist by Damien. Sent to do the dirty work, Ethan meets Shane who introduces him to spinning, a sport combining cars and spectacular stunts.

A body is discovered and Damien's gang finds itself in the crosshairs of Detective Nazeem Abrahams and his new partner Detective Liesel Esrasmus.

Ethan sets out to help his friends build a new car but they run into financial difficulties while getting an engine. Ethan tries to make up the shortfall by embezzling money from his gang.

The atmosphere is electric as Damien's gang wants to take up arms against Vernon and Butter. Torn between Damien and Hercules who are beginning to question his loyalty, and Nazeem who is beginning to suspect him, Ethan is mired in his own web of lies.

While Damien hatches a plan to make a big splash, Ethan and his team leave Manenberg to perform at a big spinning event in Mossel Bay. Suspicious of a leak among their ranks, Damien and Hercules take it upon themselves to bring Ethan back to launch the operation.

Rejected by Damien and ousted from his spinning team, Ethan is forced to find his feet in the real world. Still unable to get back behind the wheel, Amber tells Ethan that he has one more way to redeem himself and enter the spinning contest.
