In the game, it's 1927, and Adam Harker is in London battling against the minions of Cthulhu, but then come hints and suggestions that something else stirs - something wicked and secret, something new, rising up and replicating itself within the code, and taking on the form of ageless evil.

Liam Lansing is heir to a prominent family of biomodified vampires. That is, until he chooses the wrong lover and is cast down to the Gutter to scrape for his life. Daniel Harding is heir to Cybernetix and a prince of the corporate Sky. That is, until his ideology drives his father to put a price on his head, forcing him into the Gutter. But Daniel and Liam won’t vanish meekly into the smog. Together, they plan to rip open the hidden corruption that runs the Sky - for vengeance, for justice, and for hope.

“Contract killer” is a fitting job for a vampire, and it suits Liam just fine.

Between his natural strengths and his Cybernetix mods, no mark has ever escaped him. Liam’s ex-lover Daniel is the heir to Cybernetix - and its greatest threat. Horrified by people less man than machine and the exploitation of Gutter factory workers, he’d rather destroy Cybernetix than inherit it...if his father doesn’t destroy him first.
