In the last comic, Domino Swift, an up and coming motorcycle racer who was going up against Decimus Wexler during the day and racing illegal street races at night to win crush, this pink crystal that you put inside your motorcycle to make it run faster. When Dom loses her bike she turns to her old friend Lola for help and Lola reluctantly lets her use a bike she has and agrees to be her mechanic with Dom's dad. Lola has problems of her own. She owes lots of money to the producers who run things in Nova Honda. There's a mysterious man in black who knows more about Dom than she does like why she needs her inhaler and he wants to tell her more, but Dom wants nothing to do with him. When Dom is in an accident and her inhaler is empty she is desperate and decides to try the crush, which would kill a normal person, but with her, it heals her. Then Dom devises a plan to get them all out of the trouble they're in with the producers on race day but when someone forces a lot of crush down her throat during the race, she jumps up and runs off really fast and ends up far away.

What Dom doesn't realize when she gets to where she is is that two years have passed and everyone believes she is dead. Decimus Wexler dropped out of that last race on moral grounds leaving a jerk named Clover to win it. When they came to collect on her wager they took over her dad's garage and turned it into a chop shop. The producers gave them a choice: Lola and her dad could work for them or they could die. Lola has moved on from Dom and has a girlfriend now named Bea who lives with her. Crush is now more illegal than ever and rigorously hunted down by enforcers who beat down anyone who has it. Dom's father is an enforcer. He blames the crush for his daughter's death.

Dom needs crush desperately so she goes in search of Calex the head of the gang she used to race against for crush. He knew her as Cricket. There aren't many left of his gang but they're willing to break into the producer's facility that contains the crush because it will be worth it. Dom convinces Lola to help her. There is a surprise waiting inside for Dom. And the mysterious man in black reveals who he is and insists on having his say and showing her what he needs to whether she wants to know or not. This is such a fabulous series and the big reveal at the end of this volume will floor you. Dom is such a great character and I love Lola who's brilliant with anything mechanical and tells Dom what she really thinks. Calex is a fun character because he is always providing sarcastic comments. This book delves deeper into Dom's past and how it effects things today. I highly recommend this book. ( )
