Sorano Appare is a genius but lacks talent when it comes to social interactions. Isshiki Kosame is a brilliant samurai, but a coward. These two end up drifting from Japan to America due to an unfortunate accident. Both of them are penniless when they arrive, so the choose a unique way to get back home: they decide to participate in a transcontinental race across America. The starting point is Los Angeles on the West Coast, and the goal is New York.
