== Main Plot ==
You drive on a road back to Palmont city in Carbon Canyon, and a flashback of a race against all three crew bosses Wolf, Kenji, and Angie comes to mind. The player is soon chased by Cross, now a bounty hunter who is hunting you down, and you have a chance to drive the BMW M3 GTR through the canyon on a relatively easy and short course to escape from Cross, eventually breaking through many wooden fences and turning 180 degrees to come face to face with Cross. On the verge of being captured, Darius arrives in his Audi R8 with his associates to bail you out, telling a worker to pay Cross the $150,000 that is your bounty. He tells you that he wants you to clean up your reputation and go back to beat all the crew bosses to pay him off for bailing you out.
You eventually come to beat all three minor crew bosses, and take over most of the city, along the way getting new crew members who join after beating each boss (Colin: after beating Wolf, Yumi after Kenji, and Samson after Angie.), each crew member tells you a piece of the story about after you left. And together with other clips of Darius and Angie, you discover that Darius set you up to look like you stole the money. After beating all three bosses, Nikki joins your crew to help you take Silverton. After taking silverton, you now own all of Palmont city, Darius leaves telling you that "''Enjoy it while it lasts, there's always someone out there a little faster than you are, and sooner of later they're gonna catch up...'' The video ends showing you driving away in Darius's Audi R8
