About This Game
Operative Johnny Ford returns home from a mission dismantling drug operations across South America to discover his residence ransacked and his family gone. A chilling note reveals that King Crimson, a shadowy criminal mastermind, has orchestrated the kidnapping as retaliation against Johnny's father, Malcolm, who was perfecting a revolutionary serum designed to free people from narcotic addiction. With government agencies unwilling to intervene, Johnny takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a personal crusade to infiltrate King Crimson's criminal network, liberate his loved ones, and dismantle the organization's operations from within.
