As a train pulls into the station, a Hobo jumps from a freight car, hoping for a fresh start. Instead, he finds himself trapped in an urban hell. This is a world where criminals rule the streets and Drake, the city’s crime boss, reigns supreme alongside his sadistic murderous sons. Amidst the chaos, the Hobo comes across a pawn shop window displaying a second hand lawn mower. He dreams of making the city a beautiful place and starting a new life. But as the brutality rages around him, he notices a shotgun hanging above the lawn mower. Quickly, he surmises the only way to make a difference in this town is with that gun in his hand and two shells in its chamber.
