Juha Kallio, a road racing driver, watches a DVD of a high-stakes motorcycle race with a friend. His friend asks if he could do the same. Juha replies calmly that he could, despite the Isle of Man TT Race's difficulty for any driver. The dangerous course has over 200 turns requiring memorization. Getting on a team demands skill, luck, and money – barely covered by winnings from local races, which only cover the trip home. Juha considers asking a familiar sponsor, like a local chicken farmer. "The Fast of the Forest" follows Juha’s journey into the daring world of road racing, a story of perseverance where giving up isn't an option, even as his dream seems to slip away.
