Early-2000s Romania. You're twenty, you're the best mechanic in a neighbourhood nobody drives into by choice, and you've rebuilt a Honda out of scrap with your own hands because nobody was going to hand you anything.

Her car breaks down two streets from the workshop. She has the hood up and she's diagnosing it herself, and she's right about what's wrong with it.

Three men you've known your whole life decide she's interesting.

Mara Ionescu is a third-year student whose family moved into the rich neighbourhood next door a few months ago. She has money, a boyfriend, a father who solves her problems before she can, and one thing she wants more than any of it: to be left to handle her own life.

Helping her is the fastest way to get that wrong.

No gangs, no heroes, no easy money. Just a workshop, a broken Mercedes worth more than your street, and two people from ten minutes apart who were never supposed to meet.
