The night is far from over. Wounded, betrayed, and on the run, Oliver Valentine barrels through the streets of Chicago with a mysterious suitcase chained to his wrist. With his car sabotaged and enemies closing in from all sides, the simple delivery has devolved into a desperate fight for survival. Caught between a ruthless crime family and a group of unnervingly professional pursuers, Oliver's only hope is to reach the ominous OmniCorp Tower before the clock strikes twelve.

On the last night of the year, professional runner Oliver Valentine takes on one last job. The pay is too good to refuse, the task deceptively simple: deliver a suitcase by midnight. But the city comes alive with hunters and the simple delivery becomes a desperate fight for survival.

The crew reaches Pacifica. A guarded facility. A final chance to expose the truth. What they find inside isn’t resistance—it’s invitation. The doors open too easily. The silence hums with something waiting.

And beneath it all, trust begins to crack. No more warnings. No more resets. This is the end of the mission.

The morning after being stranded in Littleville, the crew's hopes for a quick car repair are dashed. They discover their vehicle was sabotaged, and the local mechanic, Jimmy, will only help if they get approval from the town's enigmatic leader, Father Marcos. As some members seek out help and answers, uncovering unsettling truths about the town's undercurrents and its "Church of the Angels," their visit to Father Marcos takes a dark turn. A demand to use neurocasters leads to a hostile confrontation, forcing a desperate shift to a new escape plan just as an unknown threat speeds their way.
