Sixteen-year-old Hano Jiro has one dream-to get behind the wheel and leave his small-town life in the rearview mirror. After saving every dollar from long hours at the car wash, he finally buys his first car. But freedom comes with a price. As Hano's passion for driving pulls him into late-night races, rivalries, and dangerous choices, he learns that speed can open doors-or close them forever. Fast-paced, heartfelt, and fuelled by grit, Hano Jiro: The Driver is a coming-of-age story about chasing dreams, testing limits, and finding your road in a world that wants to hold you back.
