In the town of Grandview, Illinois, Tim Pearson (C. Thomas Howell) is a smart kid facing a stifling future. Dreaming of a career in oceanography, Tim is stuck with a scholarship to a local college, pleasing his influential realtor father, Roger (Ramon Bieri). Struggling with the final month of high school, Tim's attention is turned to Mike Cody (Jamie Lee Curtis), the co-owner of a local demolition derby track, Cody's Speedrome. The family business has hit hard times, with Mike trying to raise enough cash to save it, helping Betty (Carole Cook) and her mentally challenged brother, Cowboy (John Philbin), hoping to preserve a local tradition. Slam Webster (Patrick Swayze) is the king of the derby, but he's working through difficult times with adulterous wife Candy (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who's taken a lover in Donny (Troy Donahue). Realizing his true feelings for Mike, Slam tries to make himself available to the distracted woman, who's also responsive to Tim's troubles, making a connection to the teenager as summer arrives and drastic changes are in store for Grandview.
