Sean Boswell (Black) is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities.

Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor.
