What does anyone ever want? Usually more money, influence, or love. Sometimes all three. Waking up in a 1920s American megacity full of mobsters and vampires, average handyman Ethan Jones discovers his landlord and boss is a hitman for one of the three mafia outfits fighting for control of the city. Before being uploaded into the simulation, his avatar had tried to stay out of gang business, but now that Ethan has full control. It's kill or be killed. Ethan knows this, but as a sandbox gamer, it takes him a while to figure out how to navigate his new deadly world. Vampire dangers lurk in every alley and betrayal hides in plain sight. Does he rise up and survive or let the city drag him into darkness?
