Chicago's only got room for ONE massive Bean!

Visiting the Chicagoland area and in need of a getaway driver? Well, there's no better wheelman than Bean Bandit—the infamous Roadbuster! Provided you've got the scratch, Bean and his blonde bombshell of a partner, Rally Vincent, will get you where you need to go. Not long after finishing up a sketchy job, the Roadbuster is tasked with returning a young member of Chicago's elite to her family's estate. But what starts out as a simple taxi gig quickly becomes way more than Bean and Rally had bargained for…

From the high-octane imagination of famed anime creator Kenichi Sonoda (Gunsmith Cats, Otaku no Video) and the animation gearheads of studio AIC (Bubblegum Crisis, Tenchi Muyo) comes a classic tale of trouble in the windy city!
