Searching for her lost identity, a woman embarks on a final journey with the motorcycle club that shaped her life. After the tragic loss of her parents at four, Raqi moves in with her uncle Dodge in Escondido, California, where she faces hostility from the all-white motorcycle club, the Lawless, and struggles with her uncle's drug addiction. Despite forming a few friendships, Raqi escapes the violence and bigotry as soon as she can. Years later, she is a successful partner at a Los Angeles law firm when she receives a call from Billy, the Lawless leader. With Dodge deceased, Billy invites her to participate in the Grieving Ride for fallen members, promising her the address of her grandfather if she attends. Eager to connect with her Mexican heritage and discover family, Raqi reluctantly agrees. The ride proves to be transformative as she reconnects with her old bike and the club members. Throughout the cross-country journey, she uncovers truths about her uncle and herself. Alternating between her childhood and a 90s present, this narrative, enriched by magical realism, explores one woman's quest for a brighter future while confronting her tumultuous past. It offers an immersive glimpse into a fading subculture and a poignant exploration of self-discovery, acceptance, and family.
