PlotA man, known simply as "Driver," is released from prison after serving a ten-year sentence. He immediately embarks on a mission to avenge the death of his brother, who was killed during a botched bank robbery that also landed Driver in prison. Armed with a list of targets, he starts hunting down those responsible one by one. Each act of vengeance brings him closer to the truth, but also catches the attention of law enforcement. Detective Cicero and a troubled cop with addiction issues are hot on his trail, both eager to solve the cases that Driver is leaving in his wake.
Complicating matters further, Driver becomes a target himself. A mysterious hitman, hired to eliminate him, begins to track his every move. As motives and backstories gradually unravel, the lines between revenge and justice blur. Along his journey, Driver encounters moral dilemmas and unexpected revelations that challenge his perception of right and wrong. With each confrontation, the stakes grow higher, drawing all involved into a final showdown where their fates intertwine, setting the stage for an intense resolution.
