Description
Following a successful defense of the world against a major terrorist threat, the leader of the 3rd Street Saints rises to the highest office as the President of the United States. Initially, the transition from gang leader to national leader seems manageable. However, the situation quickly escalates when an extraterrestrial conqueror known as Zinyak launches a devastating assault on the White House, capturing the President’s entire cabinet. Trapped within a complex, reality-altering simulation, the President must rely on the 3rd Street Saints to navigate this new environment and prevent the total destruction of Earth and the wider galaxy.
