The video features a group of friends attempting to solve Los Angeles' notorious traffic problem by using a hovercraft to travel along the LA River. The group, led by Eric, plans to start at one end of the city and travel to the other, with the goal of beating the time it would take to drive through peak traffic. They come up with a plan to use law enforcement equipment to avoid the police and set out on their mission at 5:30 am. The hovercraft works initially, but eventually breaks down, leaving the group stranded in the river. They manage to get the hovercraft moving again with the help of a small Jeep, and eventually reach the ocean, completing their mission and "proving" that the hovercraft is faster than traffic.
