Bad Hero

Eighteen years in prison, then released for no clear reason, and Frank finds the city rearranged without him. One man now runs things, gangs push a synthetic drug called Mirage through the streets, prostitutes have stopped smiling, and merchants pay tribute to somebody else. He could walk away and live quietly. He won't.

Frank is used to being the best at everything, and if he wants something he takes it, so his return doubles as a slow reclaiming of territory, people, and leverage from whoever built this new order. That drive pulls him through school settings and swinger scenes alike, corrupting and colliding with the women around him as he works his way back to the top.

Play follows Frank as he rebuilds his standing, choosing who to indulge, provoke, or exploit while the city's power structure and its Mirage trade sit in the background as the thing he's really up against.
