The Driver series chronicles the exploits of Tanner, a ruthless undercover cop and a fearless driver. Driv3r sees him immersed in a global car theft ring. In a Gone in 60 Seconds type plot, a mysterious buyer has ordered 40 stolen high-performance cars. Tanner wants to know who the buyer is and to stop the deal but has to do so without blowing his cover and before he runs out of time.
The story stays close to the original Driver storylines while allowing for a very GTA:VC type gameplay. In order to spice things up, Reflections have secured a Hollywood cast for Tanner and the main characters in the game so let's have a look at them.
