Baby is a young and partially
hearing impaired getaway driver who can make any wild move while in motion with
the right track playing. It's a critical talent he needs to survive his
indentured servitude to the crime boss, Doc, who values his role in his meticulously
planned robberies.
However, just when Baby thinks he is
finally free and clear to have his own life with his new girlfriend, Debora,
Doc coerces him back for another job. Now saddled with a crew of thugs too
violently unstable to keep to Doc's plans, Baby finds himself and everything he
cares for in terrible danger.
To survive and escape the coming
maelstrom, it will take all of Baby's skill, wits and daring, but even on the
best track, can he make it when life is forcing him to face the music? -
