1920s Chicago was the scene of intense gang warfare for control over the metropolis of the Midwest. In the battles that were waged, Vincent operated in secrecy, remaining unknown, and waiting patiently for the day when he should seize the reins of power. His slumbering opposition is investigator John Capell, a close friend to one of the highest ranking henchmen under his own employ.
When the wife of a member of Vincent’s gang experiences mysterious complications in the latter stages of her pregnancy, the henchman is consumed by grief, hatred, and an insatiable thirst for vengeance. John Capell is thrown into a labyrinth of murderous horrors, deceit, and violence as vengeance wreaks its havoc on the streets of Chicago, approaching even the object of John’s own love. Throw into the streets Vincent’s lust for control of the city, a maniacal Satanist that feeds on the despair his victims, and John Capell’s dedication to justice. The question becomes: how far will a mourning gangster go to avenge his loss, and how many other people, innocent or otherwise, will be drawn into his well of grief?
