The introduction of the Hybrid Performance Exceed Reactor (HyPER)—a technology that injects new life into racing—allows race cars to reach incredible speeds of up to five hundred kilometers per hour. Five years after the inception of the NEX Race, a competition where cars are enhanced by HyPER and even AI, one man stands as the undisputed champion. Having won every title since the inaugural NEX Race season, Lorenzo M. Salvatore is the king of the racing world. Unexpectedly entering the tournament is Rin Rindou, a former ballet dancer who has been given a chance to become a real racer after setting a world record in a racing video game. Forced to give up dancing, Rin shifts her focus to chasing a new goal, despite her lack of experience. Making the most of her peculiar skill set and the NEX Race innovations, the young newcomer may just be the one to dethrone the absolute king.
