Liberty City, 1995.

The Cold War is over, Pablo Escobar is dead and the cartels are seeing themselves replaced by a new type of cartel, one that is beginning to hold all the chips all over the world... Not the Yakuza, not the Crips, not even the Russians.

Corporations have decided that board room meetings and teleconference calls just didn't cut it anymore.. Instead, corporate lords have decided that a gun to the face is more effective at the negotiating table than budget charts or cocaine pick me ups... Apple, IBM, Sony, even the financial companies like Lehman Brothers, Chase and even Deutsche Bank AG amongst others decided that in order to ensure their survival long term... More hostile negotiations had to take place.

As a result, Liberty City, the business capital of the world, has become the epicenter for a corporate war of likes never seen before.. Gunrunners sell weapons to corporations, who then hand it over to their workers.. And the rest is history.

You are one of the many corporate soldiers in Liberty City, fighting a war against the other companies, avoiding the LCPD, and making sure that your bosses are happy.. In this city, hostile negotiations are the norm.. But even if you hold the leverage, the others will find a way to make sure it doesn't stay that way for long..

Make shady deals, shoot your way to the top, and if you play your cards right, you might even become the ruler of L.C.

So get to it, pawn.
