Driven by the insane bus driver, Dan Torrance and his co-driver who earned the name "Shoulders O'Briens" because he is known to quiclly fall asleep while driving on the shoulders of the road.

The bus is equipped with a big bowling alley and swimming pool- this is enough for everyone to have a relaxing time while on their trip. But this is not the case.
These people all have problems of their own, a spiteful fashion designer named Camille Levy, a man of the cloth who views everything in life questionable Father Kudos, a feuding soon-to-be divorce couple Claude and Sybil Crane but they can't keep their hands off each other.

The bus is set to make a non stop trip from New York to Denver and also set to explode, thanks to Alex who tries to sabotage the bus by planting a bomb and a feel of a electronic earthquake to stop it from running. This nuclear bus is loaded with loose cannons and a wacko is willing to set off the explosion anytime soon and it is up to Danny the bus driver to stop Alex.
