Against all odds, Dusty qualifies for the prestigious Wings Around the Globe Rally and is forced to conquer his fear head-on. The movie is a feel-good story about the importance of never giving up and helping those in need, as Dusty prioritizes the safety of his fellow competitors above winning the race.
