-Sean Boswell is an American teenager who is a loner in school. But he has a thing for racing cars. When he challenges a rival to a race, he totals his car. To avoid going to prison, he is sent to Tokyo, Japan to live with his military father.
-When he arrives in Japan, he immediately befriends someone by the nickname "Twinkie", who is your average military brat. He introduces Sean to the world of Japanese car racing. And even though he's banned from driving, he decides to challenge the local race champ, D.K. who is better known as the Drift King, who unknown to them, has ties to the Japanese Yakuza, or Japanese Mafia. He loses, because he does not know how to drift, which involves treacherous hairpin turns.
