In 1939, the Florida Highway Patrol is new and untrained, but Sally, with her love for speed, is hard not to notice. In awe of her in all respects, Officer Billings merely gives her a warning, but their encounter sparks an enduring friendship that seers the social upper crust of Avondale.
Forced into the male-dominated workforce, Sally sells automobiles, unheard-of at the time for a woman. Although happily married, she remains entangled with Gary, her arrogant ex-fianc?. Gary will stop at nothing to get her back . . . nothing.
