L.A. Setting

The Setting:
The word on the street is that the unsteady peace between the three megacorporations that control the city is about to shatter. As the next election approaches everyone is afraid that one of the Corps will start a war rather than risk their candidate losing in the polls. A war all but guarantees that the anti-capitalist Movement will join the fray, and a Movement victory all but guarantees that the city falls into chaos.

The gliteratti and Corp elites will be turned out for the opening of "Devils in the Dust," the latest ParaCentury blockbuster at Grumman's Chinese Theatre, and the cocktail party afterwards will be a big name event.

But the real action will start after midnight when the "after/after party produced by underground group known as Les Invisibles begins.

The theme is an "End of the World" rave and enough markers have been called in to ensure that there will be plenty of VIPs in attendance, making it a perfect meeting place… or a perfect trap.
