Aiming to be both fast and furious, this new US show accelerates into the world of illegal street racing in the down-on-its-luck town of Ironwood, Pennsylvania. Ryan Phillippe plays Logan, a former NASCAR mechanic now eking out a living running a car repair shop. His past on the race circuit comes back to haunt him when his teenage nephew Zac (Michael Cimino) and niece Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) come to town. 

The former wants to carve out his own reputation as a car racer, which is worrying enough, but the latter just wants to find out what happened to her missing dad, himself a former big-time driver. It's soapy, slick stuff that hurtles along, injecting high-school angst and grown-up tension into a story engine already fuelled by race sequences and an enticing overarching mystery. (Ten episodes)
