Cold Blooded

Barry Denver, once a skilled operative in an elite military squad, was betrayed and left for dead five years ago on a remote island. During those years, he struggled to survive, haunted by the loss of his best friend, Luke, and driven by a singular goal: revenge. After escaping the island and reconnecting with a past ally, Alicia Grant, Barry sets his sights on Sunlight City, a corrupt metropolis controlled by a powerful criminal syndicate. Sunlight City is a breeding ground for crime and corruption, with the syndicate pulling the strings behind the city's law enforcement, businesses, and political system. Barry's journey begins when he teams up with a ragtag caravan to make his way to the city. Upon arrival, Barry's past collides with his present when he unexpectedly encounters Alicia, who reveals shocking truths about the mission that led to his betrayal. Alicia confesses that she had been forced to cooperate with the syndicate to protect her family, and she offers to help Barry take down the syndicate. The two form an uneasy alliance, and Alicia provides Barry with a map of the syndicate's operations and key players, including the ruthless leader Victor Salazar and key enforcer Gage Archer. She warns Barry that taking on the syndicate means more than just fighting back-it's about unraveling a network of power that spans across the city. Barry's first mission is to infiltrate the Underbelly, a dark underworld controlled by the syndicate, in order to make contact with Archer and use him as a means to get closer to Salazar. Determined, Barry sets his course for vengeance, ready to take down the men who ruined his life, piece by piece. With no turning back, Barry knows that this war is personal-and the price of failure is more than just death. The story follows Barry's journey through Sunlight City's dangerous underworld, as he uncovers hidden secrets and confronts the criminals who control it. It's a tale of survival, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a city where the lines between right and wrong are blurred.
