Bonnie Bedelia stars as Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney, the young wife and mother who defied the sport of drag racing to become the only female top fuel champion in NHRA history. But before she could reach the record books, Shirley had to survive an abusive first marriage, her volatile love affair with fellow racer Connie Kalitta (Beau Bridges), a horrific accident, and a sexist world that tried to stand in the way of one remarkable woman who dared to put her heart on the line. (official distributor synopsis)
