Spoilers ahead

Steve, the self-proclaimed King of The Mountain, lives a double life that blends precision engineering with reckless bravado. By day he works at a Porsche repair shop, but by night he commands the winding lanes of Mulholland Drive, where the narrow curves and steep hills become his arena. In his sleek, finely tuned 356 Speedster, he pushes the limits with a blend of skill and instinct that earns him the respect of other racers and the envy of newcomers who arrive to test their nerve on the same treacherous routes. The mountainside becomes his kingdom, a place where speed is both art and currency, and where the thrill of the ride masks any longing for something beyond the next race.
