Belle Williams is a speed demon. Flying through the streets of New York in her tricked-out taxi, shes earned a rep as New Yorks fastest cabbie. But driving a hack is only a pit stop for her real dream: Belle wants to be a race car champion. And shes well on her way--until shes derailed by overeager cop Andy Washburn, whose undercover skills are matched only by his total ineptitude behind the wheel. Washburn, whose lack of vehicular skills has landed him in the precinct doghouse, is hot on the heels of a gang of beautiful Brazilian bank robbers, led by Vanessa, their cold, calculating--and leggy--leader. To nab the evasive crooks, drivers license-less Washburn convinces Belle to team up with him to pursue Vanessa and crew. Belle has carte blanche to drive at any speed and break any law. The car-less cop and speed-demon cabbie--New Yorks unlikeliest partners-- begin a high-speed game of cat and mouse with the robbers. That is, if Belle and Washburn dont end up killing each other first.
