Driver is a skilled Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals. Though he projects an icy exterior, lately he's been warming up to a pretty neighbor named Irene and her young son, Benicio. When Irene's husband gets out of jail, he enlists Driver's help in a million-dollar heist. The job goes horribly wrong, and Driver must risk his life to protect Irene and Benicio from the vengeful masterminds behind the robbery.

VIBE

A hypnotic, neon-drenched descent into a world of quiet intensity and sudden, shocking brutality. It feels like a melancholic dream set to a pulsing synth-wave beat, where a stoic figure navigates a morally ambiguous landscape. The atmosphere is thick with cool detachment and simmering dread.
