It's rush hour on a cold autumn morning when Jon Hesker takes the bullet; a punishment for seeing what he shouldn't have. For asking too many questions.

Hunted by the shadowy organization only known as Control, Hesker's search for answers leads him over the river and into the depths of the old city; a wild gangland enmeshed in a generations-old civil war. His footsteps dogged by death and chaos, Hesker’s shadow looms tall ahead of him.
