connections.
Friends, employers, artists and professional criminals form the wider network around Jason and Lucia.
03Jason's friend · Brian's associate
Cal Hampton
Cal feels safest at home with a few beers, private browser tabs and Coast Guard radio chatter. His casual paranoia keeps him at America's low tide, even as Jason starts thinking bigger.
Low tide. High paranoia.

Empire first. Hit record next.
05Only Raw Records · Music hustler
Dre'Quan Priest
Dre'Quan has always been more hustler than gangster. After years of booking acts into Boobie's club, signing Real Dimez could finally move him into the center of Vice City's music scene.
From the club to the charts.
