For Charlie Fox, motorcycles have been nothing but good. They've been a means of escape, a source of power, even sometimes a way to feel tough when real toughness was in short supply. But now they've turned on her. A bike accident has claimed one life, and left her best friend for dead. A local gang looks to have downshifted from racing for kicks to something a lot more dangerous. And as Charlie pokes around - was it an accident? Just what is the gang playing at? - her beloved bike start looking less like a symbol of freedom and more like an avatar of rage. And Charlie herself, the Chick On the Bike? She's looking less like an avenging angel and more like...a moving target.
