Full Speed

When Sebastian Freeman sets off to Italy for his summer vacation, he is happy with his life. A chess prodigy with a near photographic memory, he has excelled in his final year of high school and is now ready to attend university, study law and, ultimately, take over his father's firm.

Everything changes in Italy, however, when he makes friends with a group of rebellious outsiders, falls in love with a beautiful but troubled artist and, for the first time in his life, begins to question the path his dad has laid out for him.

Through a series of escalating adventures and romantic twists, Sebastian ultimately discovers that he has been living other people's dreams instead of his own. What confronts him then is a decision: to live a life of security, social standing and ongoing paternal approval - or sacrifice everything for the unknown, for the chance to live a life devoted to his deepest passions, a life devoted to the person he now realizes he could become.

But is she the one for him? Or will fate have other plans?

Ultimately, Luke will be forced to revisit the pain and dreams of his youth as he struggles to discover the man he never knew he could be.

Having eased his way through 64 jobs since finishing high-school, it is fair to say that BRAD DERRINGDALE WILLIAMSON has never found his niche in life. Indeed, except for his ever-expanding Philosophy of Slobbism, he has little to show – besides a blossoming pot-belly – for his 41 years on the planet.

Resolved not to give into the workaholism that grips his family, however, Brad consistently rejects his parents' entreaties to find himself a stable 9-5 job, instead preferring to continue research for his 'soon'-to-be-penned series of Slob’s Guides.

Brad’s comfy existence takes an unexpected turn, however, when an Indian guru interrupts an evening's video-hopping to grant him a mystical power: the ability to cycle non-stop without growing fatigued.
