The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift - Plot
After wrecking his car after another street race, Sean Boswell has a choice, go to jail or avoid the authorities and go live with his father in Tokyo.
Not the best of choice, as Tokyo is the land of street racing. Soon, Sean gets into the street racing community and, without knowing, races against "The Drift King" in a new style of racing called drift racing.
The king wouldn't be the king if he wasn't the best racer, and Sean now has a debt with him.
Tied to the Yakuza, Japanese mafia, Sean gets sucked into the criminal world of Tokyo.
