Synopsis:
When their office jobs become soul-numbing, a pair of aspiring filmmakers ditch the cubicles. Shortly after quitting their jobs, a college buddy comes up with the idea of riding a two-wheeled self-balancing Segway scooter coast to coast. They figure this would be a great way to help them capture a true sense of what America is all about.

The two friends quickly initiate plans for the trip and enlist the assistance of a sibling and a college intern as their main support team. They struggle to find anyone, including the company that makes Segways, to help support them. To overcome this, they decide it’s up to them to make it happen.

The journey from Seattle to Boston unfolds with beautiful scenery, humble American stories, Segway goofiness, and a road trip that is like no other. They meet many interesting characters, including a couple of laid-back sheriffs in Idaho, a cross-country motorcycle group in Wyoming, a stone mason in Kansas, a monster truck driver in Missouri, and a guy who wears four hats in New Hampshire.

Hard times hit and the two friends are faced with some daunting decisions on how they are going to complete the trip when some of the finances promised fall through. They persist and realize their determination has changed their lives forever.
