Synopsis
Trigger Ethics is set in the near future. The world has been laid waste by humankind and wracked by several world wars. Whole goverments have collapsed into capatilistic city states centered on the company. Organized religion is nothing more than a way for uncontrolled capitilism to maintain control over its population. Trigger Ethics is a story of betrayal, revenge, religious rebellion, and shooting. Lots and lots of shooting.
The plot follows Leon Westcott, an executive for Pinnacle Arms, a governing company. As Leon is betrayed and sent to jail by his fellow executives, a religous rebellion begins to take hold on the streets of Pinnacle. Our main character is then forced to fight his way back to the top in order to find the reason for his downfall and grasp some semblance of justice.
