The son of a prominent seed farmer defies his father's wishes to take over the family business by choosing to become a professional race-car driver in this earnest family drama from director Ramin Bahrani (Goodbye Solo).

But now, as Henry nears retirement, he plans to pass the business along to his beloved son Dean (Zac Efron).
