Murderous, trigger-happy cops, led by thedoughnut-chomping redneck police chief, arrive in force, firingindiscriminately into the crowd gathered outside. Surrender or captureis out of the question.

Will Dante slip past the forces ofcorruption and disorder to join his Rosa? What happens next is a tangledmess of reality and virtual reality.
