Flemish tween cousins Matthias and Dieter Coppens do an amazingly trans-American road trip, the adventure of a lifetime: in a hundred days, with only $100 spending money, they must travel from the South Pole trough the various climates of the continental Western Hemisphere, in time to participate in the dog sled expedition of experienced compatriot adventurer Dixie Dancercour to the North Pole. They are completely dependent on the good will of strangers of various nationalities, never knowing if they will find food, shelter and above all cheap or free transport, meet all kinds of characters, some affluent, some pitifully poor, and often fear for their lives from potential molesters, dangerous roads, suspicious food, infection, cold and heat etcetera.
