When a shadowy criminal syndicate called D.N.M.E. begins systematically threatening Neocity's government officials in 1992, a specialized task force of veteran soldiers known as C-Force is mobilized to neutralize the threat. The team's leader, Burns, arranges what should be a routine intelligence meeting with their informant at the harbor, only to discover the contact murdered—a grim sign that D.N.M.E.'s reach runs deeper than anticipated. Now faced with an assassination plot targeting the Head of Intelligence and a conspiracy that extends throughout the city, C-Force must hunt down those responsible before the organization can strike again.
