Before plunging straight to À Contre-Sens 2, here’s a quick recap of the first episode.
### The Meeting of Noah and Nick
Noah, a young teenage girl, is forced to leave her town, her best friend, and her boyfriend to move to the mansion of her mother Rafaella's new husband. Once there, Noah struggles to cope with the wealth of William Leister and is even more put off by the behavior of Nick, her stepbrother, with whom she quickly finds herself at odds. Nick has everything to be detestable: he goes from one fling to another, lies to his dad, and is rude and cocky with Noah.
Yet over time, the two teenagers can no longer deny their initial hatred is just a shield masking the growing attraction and feelings they have for one another. Besides Nick, Noah also meets Jenna and Lion, who are long-time friends of Nick, and she gradually becomes friends with them too.
### Street Racing Drama
While Noah learns more about Nick and his friends, she discovers his penchant for urban street racing. Nick and his group, recognizable by their red scarves, seem to be true stars of these illegal meetings. One night, after attending one of Nick’s races, Noah receives a photo of her boyfriend kissing her best friend, leaving her devastated. Seeking revenge, Noah enlists Nick's help, and they share their first kiss to capture the moment and make Noah's ex-boyfriend Dan jealous. Unexpectedly, Noah ends up behind the wheel of Nick’s car at the starting line of the next race against Ronnie, the leader of the rival gang. Contrary to expectations, Noah emerges victorious and showcases her natural talent for racing.
This win leads to chaos and begins Noah's troubles with Ronnie. Eventually, it's revealed Noah’s deceased father was once a rally driver, explaining her natural skills on the track. Things take a darker turn when Noah begins receiving anonymous threats.
### The Threats Intensify
While her relationship with Nick starts to improve, Noah's life gets complicated. She receives direct threats, pointing suspicion at Anna, Nick's former flame, and Ronnie, who remains furious after his defeat. But the truth unravels: it’s Noah’s father, released from prison early, who is orchestralling this chaos to extort money from the Leisters and reconnect with Noah.
Eventually, under pressure from her father, Noah is compelled to drive and help them escape. Yet Nick is determined not to lose Noah and intervenes. A dramatic car chase ensues, culminating with police intervention. Afterward, Nick and Noah reunite following the tumultuous experience, which temporarily quells familial tensions.
### A New Chapter Begins
Now, with the sequel À Contre-Sens 2 finally released, viewers can expect to see Noah and Nick's relationship put to the test again. The return of Nick's mother, along with his ex-girlfriend Bea who is ready to wreak havoc on their relationship, promises more love, conflicts, and betrayals.
This second film builds upon the original's dramatic and romantic themes, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. The film not only brings back familiar faces but also introduces new complications as Noah navigates university life, all the meanwhile facing renewed familial disapproval.
