In the cold, neon-lit sprawl of Screw Jack City, where crime runs deeper than the sewer systems and loyalty is nothing but a memory, former enforcer Stygian prowls the urban underbelly with a purpose: redemption. Once feared as “The Jackal,” Stygian has tried to bury his violent past, trading his brutal instincts for a haunted, solitary existence.

In a place where allies turn traitors and every friendship is built on buried secrets, Stygian and Laddi Daddi walk a tightrope of mistrust, battling not only the ruthless gangs at their heels but also the
