   A brilliant ride advances sixteen-year-old Colby Weston one step closer to the National Motocross Championship. As one hand clutches a pro-scout’s business card, the other squeezes the hand of his girlfriend and favorite photographer, Jillian Carter. An hour later, instead of celebrating, Colby sits in an ambulance pleading with his dad, A.L., to hang on after his horrific race accident.
   Colby returns to his motherless, rural Tennessee home—his only company, three neurotic pets. While his dad recovers, Colby hits adulthood head-on. Jillian rides in with bold, clever ideas that sometimes lead to more adventure than bargained for.
   A.L. arrives home in a wheelchair, surly and driven to see his son achieve what he couldn’t. The once rock-solid Weston duo fractures and the teen hungers for what he’s lost. It will take a shrewd game plan, an unlikely accomplice and one ultimate sacrifice before Colby discovers what waits for him beyond the finish line.
   Upshot will take you on Colby’s wild ride of spills, thrills, schemes and dreams with a voice that is emotional, yet humorous.
