Someone just tried to kill Jackson Cole, and he's got no doubt who it is, but unfortunately, the man behind this botched assassination just so happens to be the leader of Pittsburgh in this post-apocalyptic noir nightmare. America's at war with itself, and currently, Pittsburgh's under seige by the Christian Coalition to the west, and the mountains that flank its other side are infested with cannibalists, and a new narcotic's begun to spread through gangland, a gold dust brings visions, and Jackson Cole's losing friends left and right. And he didn't have that many to begin with.
