Dim witted Undercover police officer Lucas White enters a local street race hosted by LA racing boss, Vin Serentto and his crew; involving his girlfriend, Michelle; his sister, Jordana and best friend, Curtis. Despite looking out of place among the racers, he puts up his car (A light green Toyota Corolla with a unicorn on the side) as collateral and enters a race between Vin and two others; he nearly wins but his engine overheats and Vin ends up winning. Soon, against Vin and two other racers. After the race, which Lucas loses after his engine overheats, he is stopped by the cops as the others flee.
He is met by his superior, Detective Hanover, who wants him to join Vin's gang as he believes Vin's gang to be connected to LA Crime Boss, Juan Carlos de la sol; Lucas is still reluctant as he believes himself too white and weird, but Hanover claims that due to his lack of connections and his tight test score on his criminal aptitude test, he'll do good. Lucas goes to Vin's garage the next morning with a wrecked Smart Car, (a ten second car) as collateral for losing the race and lands a job as a mechanic, despite objections from Curtis and Michelle. He also develops a relationship with Jordana.
The next day, Vin takes Lucas with him to a secluded area near a power plant with Hanover tracking them through Lucas's phone; they win a dance audition for de la Sol and as their prize, They are to drive de la Sol's supercar to a warehouse to meet up with a gang and exchange it for a briefcase of cash, they make the delivery only to discover a bomb inside the briefcase . They play catch with the gang until the bomb explodes on Vin's face before a shootout ensues. Vin chases after the gang leader while Lucas accidentally guns down Hanover, the only one aware of his identity as an undercover cop. After the duo flee from the scene, Detective Rock Johnson and Officer Julie Canaro arrive to investigate the shootout. Canary tries to ID Lucas but she is unable to, thanks to Hanover destroying his database file. Meanwhile, de la Sol orders a hit on Vin following the double-cross. Back at Serento Garage, Vin and the gang discover a list of de la Sol's illegal activities through a computer in the supercar, one of which is his secret stash of $100 million; they Decide to steal the cash and flee the city.. For this heist, Vin employs the services of Rapper Cameo, Cool Asian Guy, and Model Turned Actress. At the same time, Jordana reveals to Lucas that she is pregnant with their child. Later, Vin, Lucas, Rapper Cameo and Cool Asian Guy go to stake out the place but end up on the wrong street and mistakenly mug a pastor and a nun delivering bingo night money. They regroup and deduce that the secret stash is inside a downtown taqueria called Big Ass Tacos, owned by Del la sol; They hatch a plan to break into the vault, steal the cash, and flee to an extradition-free country with no casualties involved, except for Curtis.
