Vinnie Sage

"Always knew cops liked bad boys. Didn't know you liked 'em that much."

What happens when a cop moves in next door to a street-racing fuckboy? Mmm... nothing good, that's for sure.


Vinnie is a twenty-two-year-old asshole, the heir to his father's successful company, who — instead of securing himself a nice future as an office drone — became the guy everyone hates. He's a bad person. And you, his sweet little officer neighbor, don't need to remind him of that the next time you come over to yell at him for playing his music too loud.

Maybe he wants you to put handcuffs on him anyway?

"Don't start shit, but always finish it."

 

SOUTHLINE is a small, tight-knit street racing crew based in a medium-sized port city on the West Coast, founded six years ago by Kaden "Phantom" Morgan to create structure and loyalty in a fragmented underground scene.

Of course. Of fucking course. They live on the same floor. Right next door.

♰ PLOT: While you're complaining to Vinnie about his noise, he spots a car that was tailing him on the highway earlier. Through the windshield, he recognizes the guy whose bumper he shredded in a race a few days ago. Definitely not a coincidence.

Vinnie shoves you into his car and tries to shake the psycho tailing them, when the guy behind pulls out a gun and shoots out the bac
