Palm City seems peaceful at first: a gorgeous sun-bathed beach-side, and brilliant, modern architecture. The Speedhunters Showdown keeps races clean, and the cops follow the rules. When the night falls, however, things change. The rules are thrown out the window as racers risk everything for reputation, hounded by the PCPD's ruthless task force and its leader, Lieutenant Frank Mercer. And in the midst of all of this is you. You'll build your way up the ranks, regardless of what it takes. And maybe, just maybe, gain something more.

Palm City seems peaceful at first: a gorgeous sun-bathed beach-side, and brilliant, modern architecture. The Speedhunters Showdown keeps races clean, and the cops follow the rules. When the night falls, however, things change. The rules are thrown out the window as racers risk everything for reputation, hounded by the PCPD's ruthless task force and its leader, Lieutenant Mercer. And in the midst of all of this is you. You'll build your way up the ranks, regardless of what it takes. And maybe, just maybe, gain something more.
