About This Game
A joint IPCA operation deploys Imani Gray and four recruits to Carthage, Michigan to locate field agent Lawrence Mujari and neutralize the French Anarchiste Liberation Army. Simultaneously, Gabriel Logan and Lian Xing investigate Uganda while Gary Stoneman runs a parallel mission in Italy. The ALA's plans are disrupted, but the threat doesn't end there: intelligence surfaces that Cosa Nostra intends to acquire the Omega Strain virus and weaponize it in internal mafia conflicts. Stoneman is dispatched to Pescara to eliminate crime boss Dimitri Alexoupolos before that can happen.
