Bucket list item number one for Frank and his oldest friend, Stan, was the TT Races. They did it, and loved it so much, that now they’re heading back for item number two on the list - TT Races yet again! The fledgeling race team they’d cobbled together on their first outing - despite moments of definite glory - didn’t exactly thrive. But, despite this, they’ve once again secured the trusty services of Dave and Monty - the two most out of shape, yet passionate and dedicated, racers in the paddock - and they’re optimistically eyeing a top 10 finish.

The gang is back for another crazy adventure. The idea of the maverick racer, Dave Quirk, winning a TT was as probable as a seaside donkey winning the Grand National... But he'd been trying to do exactly that. An unlikely victory would also secure the TT Farm for Frank and Stan’s charity, but it was a crumbling, financial black hole and filled with asbestos. Dave and Monty quitting their jobs to work there wasn’t fantastic timing, either. The charity needed a truckload of cash, and fast.

Frank's had better days.... The doctor gave him the news he didn't want, and he's also discovered the worst kept secret in Liverpool: that his wife's fitness instructor is providing her services that extend beyond the gym. With time a dwindling commodity, Frank decides it's time to do something he wants to do. With a little encouragement from his oldest friend, Stan, the first destination for his 'bucket list' is the Isle of Man TT Races. They had been content to just spectate, but fate had other ideas.

You'd think an engagement ring would signal a Happily Ever After, but when you're dealing with dynamite, things are liable to blow up. Nate's been traded to the Jaguars, all the way in Florida. Amanda's now caught between love and duty. Does she stay behind to try to finish her degree, or does she follow the love of her life all the way across the country, leaving her family...and her dreams behind? Tensions flare as each questions just how important they are in the other's life. Will absence make the heart grow fonder?
