Boyd (Dave Boyle), a self-proclaimed businessman convinced he’s Japanese, and his roommate Jerome (Jayson Watabe), a sluggish but affable Japanese-American sumo wrestler, have big dreams for themselves. Together, the two travel door-to-door by tandem bike, giving flyers and sales pitches to anyone who listens…but Boyd’s Japanese clients aren’t buying his “Translation Services,” and no one will give Jerome–a paltry 200 pounds–a chance in the ring. When they meet Mai (Rachel Morihiro), who is unfazed by their oddities and offers a hand, Boyd and Jerome discover that in a world where cultural identity is seldom what it seems, there’s a place for everyone. The movie also stars Drew Knight, James Kyson Lee, Michael Yama and Pepe Serna.
