The show continues the journey of John and Quiet, who have to participate in the dangerous Twisted Metal tournament. As they enter the competition, they are threatened by some familiar faces and some new enemies.

Perhaps the most anticipated new character in Season 2, Axel doesn't drive a vehicle — he is the vehicle. Described as "a shirtless mountain of a man with impressive pecs mounted on gigantic wheels," is a formidable opponent, one you don't want to be on the wrong side of. But underneath the machismo lurks a dark secret and forlorn past.

The second season is an improvement over the first because it remembered that character development is pretty important.
