Set against the sprawling backdrop of the dusty Texas desert, an underduck named “Bill” faces off against the track favorite, a gray fox named “Willy,” while his grandma cheers him on in a suspension-filled off-road truck race.

Bill pulls up in his Bronco half-cab next to Willy’s roaring Raptor. When the pistol fires, Bill’s bucking Bronco and Willy’s flying Raptor tear across whoops with Willy in the lead. They come around the mountain while Bill steadily gains ground. Over the hills, and across the plains, Bill slowly but surely takes the lead. Shocked by seeing his number one status in jeopardy, Willy aims to take Bill out of the race for good. When Willy tries to run him off the road, Bill must decide what he is willing to lose.
