An American teenager named Sean Boswell is a loner in school, however he
challenges his rival for an illegal street racing, and he totals his car in
the end of the race. To avoid time in prison he is sent to Tokyo to live
with his father who is in the military. As soon as he arrives he discovers
a new, fun but dangerous way of street racing in the underworld of the
streets of Tokyo, Japan.
After totaling his car in an illegal street race, Shaun Boswell is sent to
live with his father, who is in the military, in Tokyo, Japan, to avoid
juvy or even jail. While in school, he befriends Twinkie, a "military
brat." Twinkie introduces him to the world of racing in Japan. 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 because of his lack of
knowledge of drifting, racing that involves dangerous hair pin turns. To
repay his debt, he enters the underground world of drift street racing. As
he becomes better and better, he must finally prove his worth in that world
by once again racing D.K.
Sean Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only
connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street
racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local
authorities. To avoid jail time, Sean is sent out of the country to live
with his Farther in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent
section of Tokyo. In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified
racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the
ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift
racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of
hairpin turns and switchbacks. For his first unsuccessful foray in drift
racing, Shean unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the
Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of
his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where
the stakes are life and death.
To avoid jail time, street racer Sean Boswell is sent to live with his
