Nicky dreamed of Cliffhangers, Suicide Cams and the Kiss of Death, wanting more than anything to make it to the professional motocross circuit and dazzle fans. His bike was his life, his world, especially after his boyfriend, Terry, dumped him for earning a sponsor when Terry couldn't. It's still devastating, being cheated on and cast aside by the only man he's ever loved, but there's little he can do about it now but go out there and win, if only to spite Terry.

Enter Gray, and a chance meeting at a roadside diner that leaves Nicky with something more to focus on. As the sting of Terry's betrayal fades, Nicky finds himself drawn to Gray, returning to the diner in every free moment he can spare. It's almost perfect, but nothing ever lasts, not in Nicky's world, especially when Terry isn't done making him pay for his success.

In the aftermath, Gray is left helping Nicky pick up the pieces, but nothing will ever be the same. Will Nicky be able to see beyond his dreams of twisting in the air and dangling from beneath his bike.... to learn that when you Race the Sky...gravity always wins?
