Johnny is a Special Agent for the FBI. Johnny gets partnered with Angelo an experienced rider who is more than committed to his work. The two are asked to investigate the number of robberies committed by a group called the Ex-Messengers, who wear masks of Squid, TC & Mike Dee for their robberies. Angelo has a theory that the Ex-Messengers are a group of fixed gear bicycle riders, and asks for Johnny to go undercover as a hipster. The problem is, Johnny couldn’t skid to save his life. That plus the two continuously being hassled by unpleasant and rough Agent Harp about their road conversions. With the help of Tyler, a competent female track racer, Johnny begins to gain the respect of local crit rider Bodhi and his group. Johnny forms a close bond with Bodhi, but the relationship between them becomes limited when Johnny suspects that Bodhi and his group are the Ex-Messengers, mainly because they refuse to wear RAPHA.
