Three women chase their dreams of becoming professional race-car drivers.

She receives a text message that her fiance is at a Tokyo hotel having an affair with another woman. Han Bing goes to the hotel with her sister and finds her fiance Asano (Kazuki Kitamura) cheating on her with her best friend and racing teammate Yu Mei (Cecilia Cheung). She chases them out the hotel and proceeds to follow them in her car. Her sister seriously injures her leg in an accident. Han Bing retires from racing and turns to alcohol for comfort.

Now, Han Bing is offered a chance to rejoin her racing team "Speed Angels" by racing coach Gao Feng (Han Jae-Suk) and compete for a prize that can pay for her sister's hospital bills. Han Bong accepts.

Gao Feng goes to the a bank in Shanghai to pay Han Bing. When he leaves the bank, he is robbed by four men. Gao Feng jumps into a taxi cab driven by Yu Mei (Tang Wei) and offers her a large amount of money to catch the robbers. Yu Mei zooms through the streets of Shanghai and Gao Feng takes notice of her remarkable driving skills. Gao Feng later recruits Yu Mei to join the "Speed Angels." Meanwhile, Yu Mei suffers from a traumatic childhood incident that makes her crumble under pressure. Can the "Speed Angels" win the competition?
