In a bleak and crime-ridden urban underworld, a notorious gangster, Turnball, exerts control over the seedy, underground network of the city. The streets are a battleground for power struggles among criminals, the landscape plagued by violence and corruption. As the kingpin of this dark realm, Turnball's grip on the criminal activities is steely and brutal. However, his dominion is threatened when he and his goons rob a shady businessman. During the heist, a curious artifact is unwittingly taken along with the loot—a mystical, ancient artifact with powers unknown to the modern world.

The artifact catches the attention of Dr. Savary, a curious and learned professor with a deep interest in arcane objects and their history. Savary believes the stolen piece is connected to an ancient, enigmatic civilization and holds the key to a lost knowledge. Eager to recover the artifact for study, Savary is drawn into the savage world of gang warfare, navigating a treacherous path between academic intrigue and the brutal reality of the city's criminal underbelly. As Dr. Savary delves deeper into the mystery, it becomes evident that the artifact's significance is beyond mere historical value—it harbors a dangerous power that, if unlocked, could shift the balance of power in the underworld and beyond.
