Riley Ramirez has failed her driving test five times—each with the same long-suffering examiner, Tony, a DMV veteran counting the days to retirement. Determined to pass on her sixth try, Riley leans into stubborn optimism, visualization tactics, and even the imagined guidance of Mets MVP Ray Knight. What begins as a routine test quickly turns into a battle of willpower, wit, and parallel parking.
