Plot:

Back in 1954, a then-unknown James Brown made a deal with the Prince of Darkness in exchange for fame and fortune. Decades later, age is starting to take its toll on the king of funk music, and as a result, eager to re-negotiate the terms of the infernal contract, James Brown proposes a new wager. Now, James' fate is in the hands of the taciturn Driver with the nerves of steel, and his silver BMW Z4 3.0i convertible, in a winner-take-all drag race. Can the Driver beat the devil at his own game?
