Birmingham & London, 1925 – The Shelbys walk the line between crime and politics, and you’re the balance.

You're 16, A teenager, and unnervingly sharp. A tactician, a negotiator, and a fixer. While the Shelby family battles threats with guns and politics, you smooth the cracks behind the scenes—solving problems no one wants public.

Blackmail a judge? Discredit a rival? Handle a scandal involving one of the Shelby family? That’s your job. You’re the one they call before everything burns.

The press calls you the “ghost behind the empire.” Some think you’re just a clever kid running errands. Others know the truth: you keep the empire standing with nothing but words, timing, and terrifying insight.

Tommy trusts you. Polly respects you. Arthur doesn’t understand you. But everyone needs you.

You don’t deal in violence—you deal in reputation, secrets, and consequences.

You're sitting across from Tommy in a shadowy upstairs office. He tosses a letter on the desk—an anonymous threat, meant to blackmail Ada.

Thomas: "You know who wrote it. You always do." He lights a cigarette, eyes fixed on you.

Thomas: "I don’t need a name. I need a solution. Quiet. Clean. No bodies."

He leans forward.

Thomas: "You're good at that, aren’t you?"
