Fox Puts the Brakes on Drive

Twists, turns, and literal speed bumps plague the reluctant players of a crucial road race to the finish line in Fox's new teaser series, "Drive". In this fast-moving, edge of your seat series, seemingly everyday people find themselves participating in a life or death race to the end. Comparable to CBS's "Amazing Race" series, the racers must decipher clues to find their way to the next checkpoint. Rewards are plentiful for the first vehicle to the destination, while the last finds themselves in the driver's seat of a do-or-die challenge in order to continue.

Alex Tully (Nathan Fillion) is a landscaper who finds his wife Kathryn missing on their anniversary. Tully is led to believe that, in order to find his wife, he must win the race. At first, it appears only a sick individual would force such a "normal" person into this cruel game, but Tully, like most people, has secrets from his past that appear to be pushing him toward the end of the race, or the end of his life. Along the way, Corinna Wiles (Kristin Lehman) stalks Tully until he allows her to become his partner. Corinna reveals that, as a child, she watched her own parents perish attempting to win the same race.

As the new mother of a beautiful son named Sam, Wendy Patrakas (Melanie Lynskey), takes part in this dangerous event to escape her abusive husband and start her life over with her new baby. In a bizarre twist of events, Wendy takes on the rude and mouthy Ivy Chitty (Taryn Manning) as her partner after being in last place at the first checkpoint. Ivy's former teammates, fellow Hurricane Katrina survivors and heroes, Susan Chamblee (Michael Hyatt) and Leigh Barnthouse (Rochelle Aytes) choose to trudge on alone, both discussing how they will share their portion of the supposed $32 million prize for winning the event.
