After totaling his car in an illegal
street race, Shaun Boswell is sent to live with his father in Japan, to avoid
juvy or even jail. While in school, he befriends Twinkie (Bow Wow), a
like-minded race fan who introdues the inexperienced newcomer to the
pulse-pounding world of drift-racing. Though forbidden to drive, he decides to
race against D.K., the "Drift King", who has ties to the Yakuza, and loses,
totaling the car. Sean is subsequently forced to work under expatriate Han (Sung
Kang) to pay off his debt. Taking note of the young American's affinity for
racing as he warmly welcomes him into his merry band of misfit drift-fanatics,
Han slowly introduces Sean to the key principles of the popular new racing
style. When Sean makes the potentially deadly mistake of falling for D.K.'s
girlfriend Neela (Nathalie Kelley), he'll need all the help he can get to face
his most challenging race to date and take on the most notorious driver on the
Tokyo drift scene in a hair-raising, hairpin-turn race where the winner truly
takes all.
