The Fast and The Furious
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 an outsider, Sean feels even more shut out in a land of foreign customs and codes of honor.
But it does not 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 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 is 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 the Drift King's girlfriend, Neela, an explosive series of events is set into motion, climaxing with an ultimate high stakes face off.
