The plot of this 2009 film is much darker than the "street racing" roots. The story begins with Dom living in exile in the Dominican Republic, hijacking fuel tankers to survive. However, tragedy strikes when Letty is murdered during a job for a notorious drug lord. Dom returns to Los Angeles seeking vengeance, only to find his old foe, FBI agent Brian O’Conner, hot on his tail. Forced to set aside their rivalry to catch the killer, the two outlaws go undercover in a high-speed heroin smuggling ring, culminating in a frantic race through the Mexican desert.
