Through his work, Sean builds a reputation as a member of the resistance. He also gets involved with other resistance leaders and members including Father Denis, a defrocked Catholic priest Duval Mingo, whose lover betrayed him to a high ranking Nazi and Margot Bonnaire, who seeks to preserve French culture that the Nazis aim to destroy. Sean is talked into joining the resistance by Luc, and is tasked with disrupting Nazi operations by killing high-ranking officers, and destroying military installations. Sean is approached by Luc Gaudin, a local writer, love interest of Veronique, and leader of a resistance group against the Nazi occupation. Months later, Sean is living in La Belle Du Nuit, a cabaret owned by Jules' family.

Sean tells Jules' family what happened to him, and promises to take revenge on Dierker. Sean manages to rescue Vittore and Veronique before they escape to Paris. Dierker tortures and murders Jules before Sean's eyes, before Sean manages to escape only to witness the German invasion of France.

At the factory, Sean and Jules are captured and tortured by Dierker, who reveals himself to be a Nazi SS Commander and believes them to be British spies. For revenge, Sean and Jules plan on breaking into Doppelsieg, the automotive factory that Dierker works for, to sabotage his car, despite Skylar warning them that Dierker is not what he seems.

During the race, Dierker cheats by shooting out one of Sean's tires. He starts a rivalry with Kurt Dierker, an infamous racer and champion of the Nazis. Sean is set to race in the Saarbrücken Grand Prix, and quickly meets up with his on-again, off-again girlfriend Skylar St. He arrives in Saarbrücken with his mentor Vittore Morini, best friend Jules Rousseau, and Jules' sister Veronique. The game is set in 1940, and its protagonist, Sean Devlin (based on William Grover-Williams) is a hard drinking Irish race car mechanic, and a regular among the racing groups of Paris.
