Here is a rare Japanese film production about the lives of four young adults in Osaka and how their lives intertwine. The storyline revolves around Osamu (SEI ISHIDA) and his dream of becoming a professional motorcycle racer. Osamu, Jorge (SEIJU NAGAHARA) and Yasuhiro (TADASHI NISHIKAWA) all grew up together and were students and friends from the same Jr. High School. Eight years later, Osamu is still hard at work towards his goal, doing night shifts when he isn't practicing his riding technique. Yasuhiro has his future all planned out for him, as he is to eventually inherit his father's lucrative company. And old Jorge has fallen into a tough Yakuza group, and his goal is to be the top man. But all three guys are still dissatisfied with their lives. But along comes a cute girl named Mami from Tokyo, another lost soul of sorts, out to discover life and a new town. She ends up meeting Osamu and finds herself falling in love with him, and that isn't part of Osamu's plan. And Mami has her own secret, since she already has a fiance and an arranged marriage planned back in Tokyo. Frustration, romance and some really nice motorcycle racing footage shot at the Suzuka Circuit – all wrapped neatly together in this heavy duty Z-Grade action drama.
