After losing her parents at a young age, Raqi is sent to live with her uncle Dodge in Escondido, California, where she faces hostility from the all-white motorcycle club, the Lawless, and struggles to survive in a toxic environment. Despite forming a few friendships, she eventually escapes the violence and prejudice of her upbringing. Years later, now a successful lawyer in Los Angeles, Raqi receives a call from Billy, the Lawless leader, informing her of Dodge's death. He invites her to participate in the Grieving Ride, a tribute to deceased members, promising to reveal her grandfather's address if she attends.
