On the mean streets of Manchester, a down-on-his-luck cabbie moonlights as a driver for a crime gang-and embarks on a collision course with murder. — In this pulse-pounding miniseries, Vince McKee (David Morrissey, The Walk... more »ing Dead) is pushed to the breaking point from endless days of driving rude passengers in a dingy cab for laughable pay. His fortunes change when a crime boss known as the Horse (Colm Meaney, Star Trek: The Next Generation) taps him for high-paying driving jobs for his gang-but the thick wads of cash Vince earns may only hasten the demise of his marriage to Ros (Claudie Blakley, Pride & Prejudice) and worsen his relationship with his daughter (Sacha Parkinson, Mr. Selfridge). Too late, Vince realizes that his next drive may be his last.
Shot on location in Manchester, The Driver is a white-knuckle ride fueled by Morrissey's gritty performance and a taut script from a BAFTA Award-nominated writer of Shameless.
