Kansas City, Missouri, 1929
Trey Dunham, a mid-level cog in the Pendergast Machine during Prohibition, runs 1520 Main, Boss Tom's most prized speakeasy featuring good booze, hot jazz, and beautiful women. Trey wants to buy the joint and scrapes together every penny he can by running errands, guns, and booze. But every time he hits the sale price, Boss Tom jacks it up, keeping Trey digging holes in Brush Creek and making sure all the dead folks in Jackson County get to the polls. Twice.
Then Boss Tom, seeing an opportunity to avenge an ancient grudge against one Reverend Gil Scarritt, offers 1520 Main as bait. If Trey can get the good reverend's daughter Marina knocked up without marrying her, Tom'll give Trey the bar lock, stock, and barrel. If he fails, Boss Tom will never sell it to him at any price.
Trey never samples his own wares and he never bets against the house. But Tom's an inveterate-and very bad-gambler, and Trey's got several other reasons to take that bet because he's only ever wanted two things:
Money and respectability.
And he doesn't care what he has to do to get them.
As you escape from your dark past, you find yourself hiding in N.Y.C and that's when you meet him. The most fear man in all United States. Will you be able to survive in his world or will it break you.

"I can explain, this is not what it seems, Blake I beg you just please let me explain this is just a big misunderstanding!! I understand I lied about my name, but I've never betrayed you Blake, or the team I swear !" Alyssa said.
Blake was furious, his heart was beating fast. He trusted this woman and she betrayed him or at least that's what it sounds, but at the same time he couldn't bear to see her this distraught and knowing he had to pull the trigger and end her life. He loved this woman, even if he didn't wanted to admit it.
David looked at Blake and whispered ... "Blake, tell your men to get in the car, get Alyssa into the forest where no one can see you pull the trigger far away from her tell her to never come back and let her live."
Blake pause for a second, thinking of what his best friend said. Analyzing his next move, and with a blink of an eye Blake pointed his gun foward and David surprised yelled .... "Blake don't!!"
**Gunshots were heard
