Story:
Jiro Kanzaki (Takuya Kimura) is an F3000 test driver blessed with
acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. He's a
daredevil who feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers
dare not attempt. But unexpected trouble forces this world-famous
racer to leave his team and return to Japan for the first time in
years. Until he finds a new job as a racer, Jiro decides to stay
with his parents. What awaits Jiro there is his hard-headed father,
his nagging sister, the 12 children of the foster home his father
runs, a snobbish male nurse, and a stubborn female nurse who likes
to daydream about her life.
Jiro's return home brings a breath of fresh air that influences the
people around him. However, he is still unaware that he too will
eventually be influenced to change the way he thinks and lives.
