Detroit, 1962. Fast cars, fast times.
A young maverick engineer races to the top of the corporate ladder during the day and races on the streets at night. Jim Slater, a young up-and -coming executive, navigates the treacherous twists and turns within the cutthroat auto industry while his ambitious wife, Sally, claws her way to the top of the social pyramid. Buckle up and ride along as they ignore the speed limits and caution signs posted along the way, focused only upon the horizon, never looking back in the rear view mirror. Driven! is a story of man’s passion to create— and to destroy. It is a time machine that will take you back to the engineering think tanks, the styling studios, the boardrooms and the cocktail lounges of an optimistic “can-do” America. Visit mid-century Detroit where powerful egos dominating the auto industry are reflected in the chrome and lacquer of four-wheeled dream machines. Follow the development of the cars and the fuel-injected, supercharged lives of those responsible for their creation—men and women “driven” to succeed—at any price.
