Ever since the Titans appeared in her Detroit neighborhood,
Astrid Sullivan's world has revolved around the mechanical
horses. It's not just the thrill of the race. It's the
engineering of the horses themselves and the way they're
programmed to seem so lifelike. The Titans are everything
that fascinates Astrid, and nothing she'll ever
touch.
She hates them a little, too. Her dad lost
everything betting on the Titans. And the races are a
reminder of the gap between the rich jockeys who can afford
the expensive machines and the working class friends and
neighbors of Astrid's who wager on them.
But when
Astrid's offered a chance to enter an early model Titan in
this year's derby, well, she decides to risk it all. Because
for a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, it's more than
a chance at fame or money. Betting on herself is the only
way she can see to hang on to everyone in the world she
cares about.
