The United States of America, January 1, 1930. You are an immigrant from overseas. You were a nobody in your home country. You did all sorts of lousy jobs in order to scrape together enough money for the long voyage over to the land of infinite opportunity. You arrived in this vast city, this enormous country, with high hopes. Everything is much bigger and better here than in Europe, and every door is open to you. From dishwasher to millionaire – your dream is to make it rich. But reality has something else in store for you. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out here where only the strongest can survive. Society is corrupt and Prohibition has been effect for more than a decade.
Powerful Mafia syndicates have formed. They earn their money by smuggling and bootlegging alcohol. Everything is in their hands: The bars, the police, the politicians! You’re just a little fish in a big pond, nobody is interested in you or your dreams. As a poor little immigrant, your place is in the gutter, serving the big fish. But this is not how you envisioned things when you dreamed of a better future. You came here so that you’d no longer be trampled on by the rich and powerful.
No one is going to give you a chance. You have to take it for yourself: so show no mercy. The law no longer applies to you. Why should it? It doesn’t apply to the others who have money, power and prestige. Your kingdom is the street, your district! It’s the place where you earn your first dollar bills as a street hustler. Your future is in your hands now. Will you be able to earn power, money and respect? Are you ready to break the rules? Become the most powerful gangster boss of all times! Go down as a legend and take your rightful place in history! Your name will be respected and feared for decades to come.
