LYNX

Synopsis
Marie and Tony are members of a crew called Lynx. They are passionate drivers of Bangers, a trash variant of the stock car. The investigation into the death of their daughter, crushed by a driver, stops due to a lack of police goodwill. Tony doesn’t want to drive anymore. Moving south to start a new life is his only option. But Marie expels her anger on the speedway in violent crashes. Helped by the Lynx Team, she finds the driver. She wants to kill him but Tony avoids the irreparable to save his couple. So they decide to settle their dispute where their community has always settled them: on the speedway. In pursuit of the driver on the circuit, the love duet is back the time of a race. But in the end, it will be up to Marie to choose the fate of her couple: kill or save him …
