A teenage orphan with a passion for video gaming possesses an uncanny knack for racing in the world of Gran Turismo. His talent doesn't go unnoticed; he's plucked from obscurity by a former race car driver who sees the boy's potential to transition from virtual tracks to real-world racing. They embark on an underdog journey, facing the skepticism of the professional racing community, which has little faith in a gamer's ability to handle actual high-speed competition. The mentor provides guidance, support, and trains the young prodigy, helping him hone his skills not only in the digital realm but also behind the wheel of genuine race cars.

As the young racer progresses, earning his stripes in smaller competitions, he attracts the attention of a renowned but jaded car manufacturer team owner. The owner, grappling with the shadows of his past success and looking for a way to revitalize his team’s legacy, takes a gamble on the gamer with the hopes of disrupting the racing circuit. The protagonist must navigate the pressures of a demanding training schedule, the high expectations placed upon his shoulders, and the complexities of the racing world, which is filled with rivalries, intense competition, and the ever-present danger lurking on every high-speed corner.
