The city once existed under a condition its residents called peaceful tyranny: King Crimeson had attained Crime Nirvana—a state of criminal enlightenment—and governed from that position. He was arrested. From prison, he announced his intention to guide others to the same enlightenment, and the resulting turf wars are tearing the city apart. Former Crimeson associate Ryuki, his occultist boyfriend Kat, and their actual cat Salem have decided that the chaos is unacceptable and take it upon themselves to address it. A beat-em-up about three people who find the philosophical foundations of the new gang war to be deeply annoying.
