Sean Boswell is an outsider who attempts to define himself as a hot-headed, underdog street
racer. Although racing provides a temporary escape from an unhappy home and the superficial
world around him, it has also made Sean unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail
time, Sean is sent to live with his gruff, estranged father, a career military-man stationed
in Tokyo. Now officially a gaijin (outsider), Sean feels even more shut out in a land of
foreign customs and codes of honor. But it doesn't take long for him to find some action when
a fellow American buddy, Twinkie, introduces him to the underground world of drift racing.
Sean's simple drag racing gets replaced by a rubber-burning, automotive art form with an
exhilarating balance of speeding and gliding through a heart-stopping course of hairpin turns
and switchbacks. On his first time out drifting, Sean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift
King," a local champ with ties to the Japanese crime machine Yakuza. Sean's loss comes at a
high price tag when he's forced to work off the debt under the thumb of ex-pat, Han. Han soon
welcomes Sean into this family of misfits and introduces him to the real principles of
drifting. But when Sean falls for D.K.'s girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is
set into motion, climaxing with a high stakes face off.
