The ghost of an unbeatable street racer is said to haunt the streets of Mount Akina in Gunma Prefecture who, aboard his Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, zips through the mountain roads at dawn each day. Takumi Fujiwara, a listless and always sleepy high school student, lives with his father in the city of S, right at the foot of Mount Akina, helping him manage his tofu shop. His life runs smoothly, between school days that are always the same and part-time work at the gas station. Only the friendship with Itsuki Takeuchi, his classmate and colleague, manages to wake him up from the daily torpor when the latter involves him in his passion for street racing and cars, leading him to discover the nightlife of the pilots and cars that enliven the streets of Mount Akina.
