Whomever reaches the Atlantic last must buy the winner their replacement vehicle. Ben is well aware Tony usually bests him in their peculiar challenges. Financially strapped, Ben cannot afford to lose.
Nearing the East Coast, Ben finds a ride with a lousy driving, blonde, blue-eyed female who makes him forget everything except that he has never been in love before.
