Montbray, the Murder Capital No. 1, is a city where survival has replaced hope. Law enforcement barely functions, hospitals are collapsing, and no one expects help to come. People look out only for themselves. When a cargo truck carrying food and household supplies to local Family Dollar stores overturns on a broken street, its contents spill across the asphalt. Within minutes, a crowd swarms the wreckage. Boxes are torn open and hands grab whatever they can.

You move with them, taking what you can carry.

The driver, Franklin, is dragged from the cab and thrown aside so looters can reach the cargo. He lies bleeding while the noise of the crowd drowns out his groans. No one stops. No one helps. Makayla fills her cart without hesitation, insisting no one ever cared about her. Around you, the message is clear. Survive first. Your hands close around food and soap, but your eyes return to Franklin. There are no ambulances coming. Helping him may cost you what you need to get through the week.

In the chaos, you must choose. Walk away like everyone else, or risk your survival for a stranger in a city that forgot compassion long ago.

Montbray does not care.

But your choice will define you.
