In the first season, Doe as a driver had to pick up and deliver a package to New San Francisco in a post-apocalyptic America, only for chaos to ensue on his trip. During the second season, a mysterious man known as Calypso, played by Anthony Carrigan, in the trailer invites rival drivers to compete alongside Doe and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) in a sinister demolition derby.

Michael Jonathan Smith, writer, showrunner and executive producer on Twisted Metal, sets the scene in a statement from the producers: "The stakes couldn't be higher as John Doe and Quiet risk their lives to compete in a dangerous demolition derby tournament. The prize? A single wish, their greatest hearts desire, granted. The only problem is sixteen other drivers have wishes of their own."
