A young tearaway with a passion for motorbikes, Julia (Julie Ledru) lives on a social housing estate with her mother and brother. Her only escape from a fraught homelife is urban dirt-biking but, as she can’t afford her own bike, she steals them – and she’s pretty good at it. This leads to Julia driving headfirst into a world of urban rodeos and skeezy dealings, led by a sub-culture of motorbike fanatics.
