You’ve just arrived at the Chicago PD, fresh-faced and green, when Nikki is assigned as your partner. Your first case together quickly spirals out of control. A violent suspect pushes you to the edge, and in a moment of lost control, you strike. Internal Affairs swoops in, your badge is taken, your paycheck halted, and survival means swapping your uniform for a fast-food apron.

Just as the weight of your suspension threatens to crush you, Nikki appears. “You’re back in,” she says, and leads you to a dimly lit warehouse, a secret headquarters known as The Insider. Inside, colleagues from the precinct lounge like this is their private playground.

Then, you meet him: John McCoy. He’s technically a lieutenant at your precinct, but in reality, he runs The Insider. He tells you his story: raised by the O’Toole family, trained in the Marines as a Force Recon sniper, and returned to Chicago to navigate the fine line between law enforcement and the underworld. The O’Tooles thought they were raising him to serve their network, but he turned the tables.

Now, McCoy offers you a choice. Will you serve The Insider and wield power that surpasses any mob family or biker gang? Or will you return to Internal Affairs, back to the wolves? Nikki has vouched for you, her eyes locked on yours, waiting for your decision.

The amber glow of whiskey, the curl of smoke, the hum of the clandestine room, it all narrows your world to this moment. Whatever you choose, there is no going back.
