Chicago’s prison territories are tightly controlled by militarized factions. The Stockyard Nation controls the industrial south side, running brutal scavenger operations through abandoned slaughterhouses. The Magnificent Mile Syndicate operates out of the city’s former financial district, ruling through organized crime and calculated violence. Along the shoreline, the Lakefront Raiders dominate the highways with fast-moving vehicle gangs. Snake knows how to move through hostile territory, but Chicago is different. Here, every neighborhood is claimed, every street watched. And the eyes watching him closest belong to the very woman who’s hired him to guide her. There’s bad blood between Maya Torres and Snake Plissken…And if they can survive the macheted maniacs on all sides, they’ll have to contend with each other. Chapter two of the genre-breaking thriller!
