Synopsis:

Banzai Runners drive specially equipped Ferrari's, Pantera's and other imported cars at speeds of 200 miles an hour on lonely desert roads. Billy Baxter (Dean Stockwell, Blue Velvet) is a highway patrolman fed up with his inability to control the highways. Against the orders of his commander Billy visits master mechanic Traven (Charles Dierkop, The Sting) and asks him to soup up his patrol car. When Captain Hernandez (Eric Mason, Fahrenheit 451) finds out, he fires Baxter but the DEA step in and convince him to try and infiltrate the Banzai Runners. When prime suspect, Harry Osborne (Barry Sattels), challenges Billy to a race winner takes the money, drugs and all he soon finds himself entangled in a struggle for survival... Osborne's bagman, Syszek (Billy Drago, Pale Rider), is holding Billy's nephew hostage.

David Rice has grown up with a mysterious power of which many have dreamed. He is completely and utterly mobile, able to zap through wormholes in the space-time fabric to any city, any building, any place at all that his mind desires. In the blink of an eye, he can 'jump" from one side of the earth to the other and back again--he can tour twenty different sunsets in one night, he can have breakfast on the Egyptian Sphinx, spend the day surfing in Australia, then pop over to Paris for dinner and enjoy dessert in Japan. He can pass through walls and locked bank safes and enter the most forbidden chambers. So far, he has used his powers to run away from his past, to take advantage of unlimited wealth, to remain fiercely independent. He's never known limits or boundaries or consequences. Or true connection. Until now. But when David discovers another young man like himself, a fiery, globetrotting rebel named Griffin, the truth of his existence begins to dawn. He is not just a lone freak of nature, but part of a long line of genetic anomalies known as Jumpers, none of whom are safe. Now, David has now been identified by the secret organization sworn to kill him and all Jumpers. And he is about to be relentlessly pursued in a chase that will literally bound around the planet--as he becomes a key player in an unseen battle that has been raging, invisible to most of humanity, through the ages.
