The curtain is about to fall on the 19th century and open anew for the 20th century…
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. They must travel through the country with their own constructed steam car, compete with crazy rivals and protect themselves from nature and outlaws. Will the two of them be able to win the race, get the prize money and travel back home to Japan?
