They had to avenge themselves against their previous gang leader. During the trial for their crimes they took the bum rap for their former boss by taking upon themselves all guilt and always seeking to protect him from the law's justice. But he double crossed them. He did not help them at all while they were in prison and instead ran off with the money they had acquired from their crimes. Now that they had gained their freedom, they split up, and all had as their main intention to find out where their crime boss went and then get their share of the money he stole from them. But not so fast. Death was to lay sway on their progress. Their quest was fraught with deadly danger.
