Irene’s husband, Standard, is released from prison, and the Driver quickly forms a bond with the small family. As Irene and Standard struggle to rebuild their lives, the Driver quietly becomes their protector, offering help without expecting anything in return.
Things get complicated when Standard is forced back into criminal activities to pay off a debt. The Driver agrees to help Standard during a heist, but the plan goes horribly wrong, pulling him into a dangerous world of violence and betrayal.
