Episode 1: The War Council In the back room of a gambling den, Silas's empire begins to crack. As the crime lord's calculated demeanor shatters into brutal rage, Dray must play a dangerous game of loyalty - volunteering to lead a suicide mission against the Red Hands. But beneath the facade of eager bloodlust lies a deeper plan. When a wounded beast calls for war, the deadliest position might just be at his side. As tomorrow night's assault looms, the line between predator and prey grows increasingly blurred in the Gutters.
Episode 2: The Point of No Return Forced to lead a suicide mission against the Red Hands, the Scum Kings face their most pivotal decision yet. When master strategist Orso reveals a daring alternative plan to strike at Silas himself, the crew must choose between serving a tyrant or risking everything for a shot at the throne.
Episode 3: A Hammer For a King A coordinated assault on Silas's fortified warehouse erupts into brutal violence as the Scum Kings execute their master plan. Moving like ghosts through the chaos of a city in turmoil, each member of the crew plays their deadly part - from Brynn's calculated distraction to Stigand's raw power and Gix's shadowy kills. But as they fight their way toward Silas's command room, leaving a trail of broken bodies behind, the question remains: what awaits them behind that final oak door, and will their transformation from servants to sovereigns come at a price none of them are prepared to pay?
Episode 4: The King is Dead In a cramped warehouse room far from the city's chaos, a deadly confrontation unfolds between a rebel and his former master. As Silas and Dray clash in a brutal dance of steel and desperation, humiliation and stored rage finally boil over. What begins as a masterful duel descends into a savage struggle for survival, where skill meets fury and old power dynamics shatter in a spray of blood.
Episode 5: The Reckoning Fire A triumphant heist transforms into an apocalyptic nightmare as Stigand's rage ignites an inferno that threatens to devour the Gutters. Trapped in a burning warehouse, the Scum Kings face a desperate escape that will cost them dearly. As the flames spread with unstoppable fury through the shantytown districts, the disciplined horns of the City Guard cut through the chaos. Their night of survival is far from over.
