The Soapbox Race

One soapbox race. Three teenagers from Akron. One secret that must never be revealed.                                                                                                                     Samuel isn't just building a soapbox - he's trying to hold on to the memory of his father. Josh, an outsider in a new town, isn't just wandering the streets aimlessly - he's searching for himself. Freckled Molly is an outsider too, tough and rough on the outside, fragile and unsure within.
Everything changes on a stormy night. At a scrapyard, among rust and forgotten things, they find something that should never have been found. Trinitor. A secret project. A military experiment. A prototype no one must ever know about. A machine that learns. That evolves. That makes its own decisions. But its activation sends a signal - to those who want it at any cost. Federal agents. Scientists. A system that forgives no mistakes.
As they struggle to finish their vehicle for the big derby, their lives turn into a race against time. But this is no longer just a race. It becomes a dangerous game without rules. A fight for survival. An unbreakable decision. Between what matters. and what doesn't. Between what they desperately want. and what they must let go. Because some victories mean nothing.if they cost you everything.
