"After years of escalating conflict, war has reached the shores of America. The nation’s capital has become a rotting hive for scum, local gangs and militias. Among this corruption and political deceit, a new evil rises. The historic neighborhood of Eckington has been seized by an emerging gang. Extremist violence plagues the streets, and a constant fear keeps everyone obedient. The police have turned a blind eye. In the eyes of the city, Eckington is but another neighborhood that has become a casualty of war. However, in this darkness looms a small, glistening hope. Some have heard murmurs that a resistance is growing, one that could challenge the gangs and take back the city. There are even rumors of heroes—those who’ve stood up against the gangs—slowly bringing themselves to light. One thing is for certain: the stakes have never been greater, the loss never higher. America rests on the edge of a knife. The final stage has been set for endgame. If this conflict is to be won by heroes—now is their time."
