In the dimly lit haze of Los Angeles nightlife, Jordan's Bar was a sanctuary of routine until two impeccably dressed men with an air of menacing sophistication stepped inside. They presented Jordan, the weary bartender, with an unsettling proposition involving a ritualistic job and a briefcase brimming with cash. The task? To murder an up-and-coming artist named Lisa, silencing her for the organization they represented.
Jordan, trapped by fear and greed, agreed to the grim task but faltered when faced with Lisa. In a twist of fate, Lisa took control of the situation, ending her life and leaving Jordan to grapple with the horror of his choices. As Jordan's life spiraled further into darkness, a few months later, he found himself at the 3-6 Club, basking in his newfound wealth. His brief respite was shattered when Charlotte, a beautiful woman with sinister intentions, betrayed him. As he lay dying, the two men from the bar watched with cold satisfaction, reminding Jordan that once you dance with the devil, there's no escape from the eternal hell that follows
