The story follows Pedro and Rustic, two men manipulated into fighting each other after their loved ones (Pedro's father and Rustic's wife) are killed as part of an elaborate power play between two crime bosses - Viktor Bodomov and Gustavo Salgado. During their brutal confrontation in a tunnel, Pedro manages to kill Rustic and then proceeds to kill Viktor and Gustavo, effectively disrupting the power structure. This sets off a complex chain of events involving Viktor's mother Quintessa, who manipulates Gustavo's daughter Marcella by lying about Pedro's motives, while various factions including the mysterious Shadow Corps and characters like Rooker and Torre vie for control in the ensuing power vacuum.
