Story takes place in a fictional city of 'Summerville'. The main character attends funeral of his father who was initially reported missing then confirmed dead, later revealed to have taken a heavy loan from a
Russian mafia, led by Raz whom he failed to pay up. Post funeral condolences and a brief visit by police, The Protagonist and his foster family are approached by Dmitri and Igor, members of the mafia to warn about pending extortion, and demand them the money The Protagonist's father kept hidden away from them. They soon start exploiting The Protagonist for the money he earns (through various means and savings in gameplay) until they're fended off by Tony (later on revealed to be a former
Italian mafia boss), who now runs his fast-food restaurant in Summerville. Another incident of them roughing The Protagonist up leads to his foster mother, Debbie, taking a loan of $250,000 by keeping their own house as collateral, which further complicates their mortgage problem. Tony and his wife Maria help The Protagonist to start earnings only for the Russians to show up once again, this time at their restaurant to threaten their lives and 'settle score'. Since police cannot fully interfere despite evidence, Tony takes a step to help The Protagonist by rounding up Russians by locating their hideout and gather intel. Seeing the risk all it involves, The Protagonist on various stages is pleaded/warned/threatened from taking part into this mess. At the same time, the city is also being prepared for electing their next mayor, presently being Rump. Things get quirky when 'Kim' a salesman at Summervile Car Dealership is revealed to have a secret alliance with not just Rump but also in contact with Raz. The series these events take place simultaneously, revolve around corruption and authority greed. Progressive storyline gameplay finally lead to a 'final face off' when Tony decides to storm Russians' now-revealed hideout with his members. The Protagonist is asked to be kept away but when his foster mother Debbie and sister Jenny are abducted, he decides to take matters in his own hands and arrive along with Tony. Evading the authorities who rounded up the factory hideout, he is assisted by Raz' daughter, Nadya, who reveals to be fed up by her father's dirty work and the
drugs business. Tracing his foster family, The Protagonist finally faces Raz in a final act of fighting, where he succeeds to hold him at gunpoint but hesitates to kill him, citing him to be handed over to authorities; but just then Nadya snatches the weapon to shoot Raz and kill him once and for all. Having now inherited the power, she assures The Protagonist of protection and apparent 'pardon' because he assisted her. Jenny and Debbie are freed, gang members of Raz are arrested, meanwhile Rump and Kim are also rounded up for their corruption and profits from Raz' activities. The factory hideout is renovated into a
vodka manufacturing plant. Meanwhile, The Protagonist finally finds the hidden extortion money, to which he clears off all the debts of mafia and works out the mortgage of his house, and pay off his school fees for good. He visits his father's grave one last time to thank him for this journey and pays respects. ==Development==
