The book recounts Tommy Byrne's poor childhood in Dundalk, his rise through the junior categories of motorsport —he was Formula Ford and Formula 3 champion— and his brief spell in Formula 1. It also describes how lack of funding and the circumstances of the sport cut short his career, and his later life as an instructor for drivers and musicians.
