My game is about a Top Engineer named Dominic. He is an engineer with an impeccable reputation at his firm. High government agents demand his assistance in getting many of their most valuable assets out of numerous prisons. If he doesnā€™t do what he is being asked his family will be killed. Not knowing who they really are, he risks EVERYTHING to do what they want. He is no longer the person he has set out to be. He has only the impressive knowledge of a top engineer to come up with a plan that can help him find out who is keeping his life hostage and finally get his life back. In the process of finding out who this high government agent is and get back into reality, he must sacrifice whoever is in the way even those who helped him in the first place.
