Prime’s coming-of-age drama Motorheads, about a group of outsiders who bond over a mutual love of cars, starts filming in Toronto.
Zac (Michael Cimino) and Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) relocate with their mother (Nathalie Kelley) to her hometown of Ironwood, Pennsylvania, where their uncle Logan (Ryan Phillippe) owns an auto body shop. There they encounter mechanic Curtis (Uriah Shelton).
The kids collaborate to refurbish a notorious car that previously belonged to their father, Christian Maddox, a renowned street racer who went missing 17 years ago after stealing $12 million in a bank robbery.
