In a small town in Indiana, a group of friends in love with life faces the transition to adulthood. Among them is Dave, a dreamer who has set his heart on bicycle racing, especially the Italian cycling culture. Despite his modest surroundings and the constant pressure to accept a future that doesn't ignite his passion – something his parents expect him to do – Dave refuses to give up. His obsession with bikes leads him to deeply identify with Italians, even adopting their way of speaking, which causes friction with his family and friends.
As the story unfolds, we see how Dave and his friends deal with their own dilemmas: from social pressure to academic expectations. The arrival of some college students in town does not help the situation; their lifestyles and attitudes contrast with those of Dave and his friends, fostering a rivalry that will test their bonds of friendship. However, Dave's true journey revolves around an iconic race that could change his life. With the support of his friends and a bit of courage, he throws himself into the competition, not just to prove something to others but to find himself. Amid comedic and touching moments, the film navigates the search for identity and the struggle for dreams, capturing the essence of what it means to grow up and dare to be oneself.
