In the humid depths of the bayou lies Carnivale City. On any given weekend, you might see the roads and avenues—particularly Whiskey Street—thronging with red-faced tourists and young people casting off cares in debauched revelry. Not far beyond the party, however, exists a dark tangle of organized the blood-soaked gears and pistons powering the city's underworld, which powers the city itself. And lurking even deeper is a realm of mind-bending supernatural gifts—and not a few actual monsters. A smoky, sordid joint, One-Eyed Jack's caters to your every vice. Booze flows aplenty amid the card tables, as do the call girls. Founded by Ryp Connors and his partner Waxy, the place also functions as a kind of base from which the two advance their criminal enterprise under the guidance of local gang leader, Big Poppo. As they face down new threats from unexpected sources, Ryp and Waxy's arsenal includes not only ammunition but certain to manipulate energy as well as time. Full of guns, goons and other, livelier grotesqueries, Trouble Boys is the kind of original, provocative potion you get when mixing gritty gangster noir with X-Men-style world-building, and a few rich splashes of myth.
