The story

The official description:

"Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a criminal conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive."

In short: what should have been an easy score goes sideways, and Jason and Lucia end up in the middle of a conspiracy that spans all of Leonida.

Setting: Leonida

The fictional state is modeled on Florida. Six regions have been officially revealed: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. More in the Leonida travel guide.

The characters

Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos are the two protagonists. They're joined by Cal Hampton, Boobie Ike, Dre'Quan Priest, Real Dimez, Raul Bautista and Brian Heder, among others. See The characters.
