Summer 1956. Sunsets, sandy beaches, and dirt track races.Waitress Maggie Sheridan mooned over Lance Elrod for many months, believing she'd someday marry the landscaper and live her dream life growing tulips in her very own house in Hickory Creek, Georgia. But when Lance returned from vacation engaged to a socialite, Maggie's plans were upended with her tray of stuffed appetizers. Mechanic Clayton Hinton has lost his racing team and his girl, Betty, to arrogant and self-absorbed Lance. When he smashes into Maggie at Betty and Lance's wedding, an impulsive kiss causes everyone to believe Maggie and Clayton are a couple. During Florida's Summer Racing Series, Clayton decides the only way he can make it through the race is to join the Sheridan Racing team. Maggie cracks under anything related to competition, but Clayton is determined to convince her that she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to, even when the odds are against her. When Clayton's determination steers away from the race, and focuses on how Maggie makes him feel, can these broken hearts give love a second chance?
