Paul and Hansen Hoepner decide to hitchhike around the globe in 80 days. They don't have a fixed route, and they plan to earn the money for their journey by working as casual laborers and selling self-made jewelry along the way. It's a bold trip with high aspirations, and the clock is ticking. As they attempt to hitchhike from Portugal to Canada, inspire people in Japan for their venture, and believe in a miraculous rescue in Thailand, they experience firsthand what it means to have not a single cent in their pockets. Along the way, they learn that a defeat can also become an opportunity.
