High school student Reki Kyan has a passion: skateboarding. When night falls, he heads to “S”, a clandestine and illegal race inside a mine where skateboarders compete in extremely dangerous situations. However, after a defeat that ends with his skateboard destroyed and his arm broken, Reki finds himself unable to fully practice.

While working, Reki crosses paths with his new classmate, Langa Hasegawa, a half-Canadian and half-Japanese boy who has no experience in skateboarding. Langa, desperate for money, accompanies Reki to “S” for a task assigned by the latter’s boss. There they get into trouble and end up involved in a bet that forces Langa to participate in a race. However, the mysterious transfer student has an ace up his sleeve that Reki doesn’t know about, one that could help him win the race in the most unexpected way.
