Synopsis: An asocial genius and a cowardly samurai will be forced to participate in a crazy steam car race through the Wild West, with the aim of returning home to Japan.
We are in Japan, at the end of the 19th century, where we meet Appare Sorano, an engineering genius, but completely inept in social interactions. While Kosame Isshiki is a brilliant samurai, but very cowardly. Due to a host of unfortunate situations, both will end up drifting towards the United States. Without money or means to return, they will be forced to participate in the Trans-American Race. The start will be on the west coast of Los Angeles, having to cross the entire American continent, until reaching the finish line, in New York. In this way, they will have to cross the Wild West in a steam car built by themselves, while competing fiercely against crazy rivals and defending themselves from outlaws and natural phenomena. Will they manage to win the race, get the prize and return to Japan?
