Sean arrives "one day late" (or so says his father) due to the time variation between the U.S. His frustrated divorced mother (Lynda Boyd) sends him to Japan, where his divorced father (Brian Goodman), a former US Army officer, lives in a low-rent part of town. Sean, however, is not so lucky, and stands a chance of serving jail time. Later, Sean is seen at a police station, where Clay and Cindy get off of any charges because of their wealthy parents who have powerful connections. In the midst of the race, Clay and his girlfriend crash into a piece of concrete tubing, while Sean plows through a house and ends up flipping his car. The two race in a neighborhood under construction. Clay's girlfriend intervenes, stating that the boys should race and the winner gets to date her. Little does he know, Sean is wielding a wrench and smiles smugly.

Sean stops his car, and gets out to confront Clay. Sean gets in his car, and starts to drive off, when Clay throws a baseball through his back window. Clay proceeds to brag about his Viper, while Sean insults him for using basic information you can read in a brochure. The girl's football player boyfriend, Clay (Zachery Ty Bryan), is jealous that she's talking with another person, and confronts Sean, insulting his car.

As he is leaving school after classes, a fellow female student, named Cindy (Nikki Griffin) compliments him on his car.
