Multi-perspective crime drama centered on volatile Archer Rogue's traumatic past and underground dealings.
It is a multi-perspective story following several different characters, with Archer Rogue at its center. Archer comes from a troubled family background that has shaped him into a guarded and volatile young man. His complex relationship with his family, particularly his father and older half-brother, forms a crucial part of his character development. The narrative follows Archer (known on the streets as El Gato) as he becomes involved in the dangerous world of underground crime. He works alongside Deano on a high-stakes mission that brings him into contact with various factions and individuals, each with their own hidden agendas. Among these is Ken, whose true allegiances remain unclear at first. The story explores themes of loyalty, survival, and the lasting impact of childhood trauma, set against a backdrop of criminal underworld tensions. The non-linear storytelling weaves between different time periods, gradually revealing how past events have shaped the present circumstances of its characters.
It is a multi-perspective story following several different characters. The central character is Archer Rogue. Archer's entire family is a bit off-kilter. His father Ed is bi-polar due to physical abuse from his father as a child. As a result, he beats Archer at times ("for his own good"), or swings to a scared, child-like persona and is incapable of even feeding himself. Archer's childhood was understandably difficult, and he's a rather closed-off, violent person as a result. His older half-brother Murphy is mentally retarded. The story follows Archer (street name: El Gato) as he works with Deano to infiltrate the drug cartel that has a long-standing grudge against his gang. Along the way he meets Ken, not knowing that he is also infiltrating the cartel (for the police). It contains lots of conflict between groups, inside of groups, and with seeming random strangers. The stories in the first volume are in published order, rather than chronological: the first manga begins with Archer being released from prison for shooting his father. Then it goes back to a young 15-year-old Archer and how it all started.
