Based on a book by the author James Sallis, Gosling stars as a Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a wheel man for armed robbers. A loner without a name, the Driver has only one friend, a man named Shannon who owns an auto shop and has a line on armed robberies where the crew needs a getaway driver.
The Driver eventually becomes involved with a woman who lives in his apartment building with her one-year old son, while her husband serves out a prison term. When he’s released, the husband is told he needs to pay off a gang who protected him inside the prison. Against his better judgment, the Driver agrees to help him rob a pawnshop. But when the job goes wrong, the bad guys come after the ex-con’s wife and child and the Driver has to protect them any way he can.
