Game Synopsis:

It's the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition reigns supreme in Chicago's shadowy underworld, and a simmering mob war threatens to erupt. The city is divided: the Southern Gangsters led by the notorious Hal Sapone, and the Northern Chicago Mob Outfit helmed by the cunning Beanie O'Dannon. After years of rivalry and bloodshed, these two crime titans have struck an uneasy agreement on bootlegging operations in the Windy City, opting to merge their resources in a precarious alliance.

A historic meeting is set to unfold at the opulent Grand Gatsby Speakeasy, owned by Hal Sapone. This gathering could cement the peace or shatter it entirely, plunging the city into a vortex of violence. Will these underworld empires find a path to coexistence, or will their deep-seated enmities reignite an all-consuming war?

1920s Chicago is a city where danger and opportunity are two sides of the same coin, and every shadow could tell a thousand stories. Every choice could be your last, and every alliance is only as strong as the trust it's built on. This is where the story begins.
