Toei Animation Europe describes the synopsis of Tosochu: The Great Mission as: 

In the future, where mankind has moved to the moon… Chronos Inc.’s big survival game show, “Run For Money” (also known as “TOSOCHU” in Japan) is entertaining the residents of the Moon World Colony!

In the game, those who complete the difficult missions as runners and escape from Tracking Android Hunters win huge bounties and enormous popularity, becoming the admiration of boys and girls. Sawyer Tomura, a boy with outstanding physical abilities, enters the world of “Run For Money” like he has always longed to do.

Sawyer is transported to an unprecedented and spectacular stage along with other fellow runners. As he faces the threat of the Hunters and the toughest missions, he begins to run to successfully escape!
