Dont Drink and Drive: Why NFS Unbound is Dangerous
0In Lakeshore City, the Player (female player voiced by Elizabeth Grullon, male player voiced by Ian Nelson) and their friend and partner Jasmine/Yaz (portrayed by Ashleigh LaThrop) refurbish an old junker car in their mechanic shop owned by their mentor Rydell (Dwayne Barnes). After winning a couple of races, Yaz has a disagreement with Rydell over a car, grows tired of being stuck in the same job daily, and wishes to do something better. She tells the player she was contacted by her friend in the foster system, Alec about some jobs involving delivering vehicles, challenging the authority of the city's police force under the control of Mayor Stevenson.
One night, after a couple races, the Player does a delivery mission but doesn't find anyone at the drop point, and Yaz doesn't answer their calls. Instead, the alarm goes off at Rydell's Rides. In a hurry and assuming the worst, the Player races back to Rydell's Rydes to witness it being raided of all the cars Rydell was working on. Confronted by both Rydell and the Player, Yaz denies being involved but drives off with the car after Rydell accuses her of theft and expresses his disappointment.
Two years later, street racing in Lakeshore had declined and Rydell's Rides have been struggling to remain open after the incident. The Player makes a living driving people, one of which is Tess (Jennifer Sun Bell), who the Player goes with to a street race meet-up. Just then, Yaz shows up and the Player discovers that she is part of the crew that stole the rides and is responsible for the resurgence of street racing in Lakeshore. She announces The Grand, a huge street race where the winner will receive a large amount of money. After hearing the Player's story and being introduced to Rydell, Tess proposes bankrolling the garage and rides as well as guiding the Player in their efforts to qualify and get revenge on Yaz and win the car back, in return for making money betting on and against them. The Player then does a number of deliveries for Tess, many of which they are suspicious of but doesn't question due to the money.
After winning the first week's qualifier, the Player confronts and challenges Yaz to the pink slip in The Grand. Tess records the interaction and ensures that Yaz accepts the condition of relinquishing the car on the final race. After the end of the second qualifier, the Player again confronts Yaz, and Tess then reveals the truth: she's been making money betting on and against the Player, but for Alec. All the deliveries the Player had done earlier were on his behalf, using her as the middleman. Tess informs both of them that Alec wants to cut a deal with all three where neither the Player or Yaz win, but will be paid handsomely for throwing the race. Outraged, Yaz leaves to confront Alec and disgusted with Tess's actions, the Player tells her they are done.
The Player meets up with Yaz at Rydell's garage and she confirms what Tess said was true, but she didn't want to accept the conditions and came to warn Rydell and the Player. Reconciling for the moment, Yaz proposes relieving Alec of all his car collection, which he acquired illegally through Tess and the Player, including the ones stolen from Rydell's garage and deliver them to their rightful owners. She mentions that the Player still has to defeat her in the final to win back the car. The Player finally wins The Grand and gets back their car. Tess reveals she was never working for Alec, but was just making money off whatever bets and races she could get her hands on, and now that they won, he is ruined and thanks the Player for the money. The Player and Yaz return to the garage and she reconciles with Rydell. Now all being friends again, they prepare for more adventures to come.
