Feeling the loss of their son Tim who has cut all ties with the family, Vince
Mckee (David Morrissey) and his wife Ros (Claudine Blakley) have drifted further
apart from each other
emotionally. They blame themselves for his departure and, feeling utterly
helpless about finding a way to get him back, have become accustomed to living
separate lives.
Vince has fallen into a rut and has tired of his job as a taxi driver. When
his old friend Col (Ian Hart) resurfaces after a six-year stretch in prison,
Vince's life is turned upside down when he
accepts an offer to be the driver for a criminal gang. At first its exciting,
and the extra cash is extremely appealing when compared to his regular
occupation. But as they prepare for a major job, Vince is confronted with a
life-changing situation that he can't overlook, setting in motion a series of
events that puts not only him, but his family in grave danger.
The Driver is the story of an ordinary man who, under extreme circumstances, gets a second chance?
