Plot

Tony Toretto, Dominic Toretto's cousin, is recruited by a government agency together with his friends to infiltrate an elite racing league serving as a front for a criminal organization called SH1FT3R that is bent on world domination. [5]

In Season 2, the gang goes to Brazil on an undercover mission to find Layla Gray and prevent potential world domination at the hands of a long-thought deceased daughter of a well-known gang in Rio de Janeiro.

In Season 3, Tony and his crew make a dangerous journey to the Sahara Desert when Ms. Nowhere mysteriously disappears on a mission there, all agents uncovering a plot by a maniacal villain using remote-control weather satellites.

In Season 4, Ms. Nowhere and Tony's crew are framed for a crime they had no involvement in prior, and flee to Mexico to both find the real culprit, clear their names, and flee the unstoppable super-agent hunting them down.

In Season 5, the group travels to the South Pacific Ocean to rescue one of their own, leading to a faceoff with an old enemy.

In Season 6, the team returns to fighting against an old nemesis in a showdown that takes them all the way back to Los Angeles.
