Not Far Enough is the second episode of the first season of the Danish-New Zealand crime drama television series Straight Forward. The show follows a Danish con artist named Sylvia Petersen, who is on the run from a gangster in Denmark after she stole millions from him. In the episode, Sylvia, played by actress Cecilia Forss, has escaped to New Zealand with her daughter and they are attempting to start a new life in the picturesque town of Queenstown. However, things quickly go awry when Sylvia's past catches up with her.

The episode begins with Sylvia and her daughter driving through the lush New Zealand countryside, marveling at the breathtaking scenery. However, their idyllic road trip is cut short when their car breaks down on a secluded road in the middle of nowhere. After attempting to fix the car, Sylvia decides to walk to the nearest town to find a mechanic. She leaves her daughter behind with strict instructions to stay with the car.

Sylvia's journey to town is not an easy one. She hikes through rugged mountains, faces blistering heat and becomes disoriented in the wild terrain. Meanwhile, her daughter, Bertram, begins to wander off and explore the surrounding area. She meets a local boy named Finn, who seems friendly enough, but Bertram's intuition tells her that something isn't quite right about him.

Back in Queenstown, Sylvia meets a mechanic named Vince, who agrees to help her fix her car. However, their conversation takes a dark turn when Vince reveals that he knows about Sylvia's criminal past. He tells her that a man named Steen, her former partner in crime, has come looking for her in New Zealand. Sylvia is rattled by this news and begins to worry about the safety of her daughter.

Meanwhile, Bertram's instincts are proven right when Finn lures her to a remote location and attempts to rob her. However, Bertram is quick-witted and manages to outsmart him. She returns to the car unscathed, but shaken. When Sylvia returns, she is relieved to find her daughter safe and sound. However, her relief is short-lived when she realizes that Steen has indeed arrived in New Zealand and is closing in on her.

The episode ends with Sylvia, Bertram and the mechanic Vince attempting to flee from Steen's henchmen in a high-speed chase through the mountainous terrain of New Zealand. The stakes are high, and Sylvia knows that she must do whatever it takes to keep herself and her daughter safe.

Overall, Not Far Enough is an intense and action-packed episode that continues to explore the complexities of Sylvia's character. Viewers are left on the edge of their seats as Sylvia battles to outrun her past and protect her daughter in a foreign country. The stunning New Zealand scenery provides a beautiful backdrop for the show's thrilling storyline.
