Brian is called back to active duty, however, by Federal agents Markham (JAMES REMAR) and Bilkins (THOM BARRY). They're trying to nab Carter Verone (COLE HAUSER), a powerful criminal who's involved in peddling drugs and laundering money. Although they have an agent, Monica Fuentes (EVA MENDES), deep undercover within his organization, they've yet to pin anything on him other than a connection to the illegal street racing.
Brian's only demand is that he get to pick his partner for this newest sting and he chooses former childhood friend and ex-con Roman Pearce (TYRESE GIBSON). The demolition derby driver isn't happy to see Brian, however, since he spent the past three years of his life incarcerated due to his former friend's duties.
Nevertheless, and with the promise that both of their records will be cleared should they succeed, the two audition to become drivers for Verone's business. From that point on, they try to bring him down, all while participating in some wild and dangerous races and chases.
Violence consists of several instances of fighting, one brief torture scene and threatening with guns (with one person being shot and wounded with mild bloody results). Various car crashes and other such property damage/destruction are also present, with one including an apparent but never confirmed death. Some of these scenes and others might be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers.
Most of the target audience, however, will likely be enticed to imitate various forms of behavior present in the film, most notably the urban racing and other aggressive driving. Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while a few people drink and/or smoke.
