So he and his friends Phoenix, Jake, and HΓΊ DiΓ© head to California to train with Ryan's cousin Peter. But right away, things get weird. Experienced cyclists are dropping dead, and someone from the kids' past pays them a very unwelcome visit. Then Peter is kidnapped in the middle of San Francisco's Chinatown.
