"Rider" is a sequel to the 1980s series that centers on Mike Tracer
(Bruening), Michael Knight's son who never knew his dad.
Burned by his love for childhood best friend and one-time
girlfriend Sarah Kamen (Russo), Mike is wasting away in Las Vegas
when Sarah reappears and is willing to pay off Mike's gambling debt
in exchange for help.
Sarah is the brilliant estranged daughter of KITT inventor Charles
Kamen, who works as an assistant professor in the engineering
department at Stanford. When she receives word from talking-car
KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) that her father is missing,
she and KITT set out to find and recruit Mike.
