Motorheads ending explained: The truth about Christian Maddox

As Motorheads reaches its emotional conclusion, the mystery that has haunted Zac and Caitlyn finally unravels. Desperate to understand why their father vanished without a trace, the siblings dive headfirst into the dark corners of Ironwood’s underground racing scene.
