An Original Enigmatic You-Play Mystery
Tonight is the annual underworld shindig. All the gangs of Victoria have agreed to a neutral venue, and pledge no violence here. But most in attendance are pushing to get to the bottom of recent events. Everyone wants to find out who is responsible for the murders of two young folks - members of rival crime families in the seedy underbelly of the city. Juliet Cusack was the daughter of the leader of the Cusack gang - smugglers and forgers; while Romeo Moy was a scion in the Moys, who run the gin joints, flop houses and gambling dens. On the outside, the Johnson mob is a small-time operation with plans to get bigger.
The repercussions of this tragedy are just beginning to emerge. No one messes with these families and gets away with it!
