Detroit teen Astrid's father lost their money betting on the Titans, mechanical metal racing horses. So when Astrid gets a chance to race for the prize money herself, she takes it. The races are full of action and danger, but Astrid's relationships with her friends and her Titan are the emotional core to this sci-fi girl-and-horse story heavily indebted to The Scorpio Races.
