A Grand Theft Auto IV Concept by Brynna Da Rosa
It's Labor Day 1997, Gerald McReary's spent the last two years hiding out-of-state for the heat to die down after a particularly catastrophic job that killed his cousin— but he's arrived home in Liberty City today, moving back in with his family as he remains separated from the wife he's trying to get back to, and is once again operating underneath his Father whom he swore he'd never work for again, if only to repair his tarnished reputation, as well as try to reacquaint himself with his younger brother and sister, who have grown into young adults since he's been gone.
Pa McReary is convinced that not only can they reclaim their old territory, but that he can claw his way back to the family's mid-century status and regain a foothold on the city that's become fundamentally different in the time since then, as long as he has the loyalty of his sons, and that Gerry will work at his direction. What he doesn't know is that while he believes Francis is still protecting him and the family business from disruption or consequence, Frankie's the one trying to get Gerry to help him with just the opposite. Patrick, in the meantime, dropped out of school while his brother was away, and if there's any time left to try and steer him back in the correct direction, it's swiftly running out as their father's influence over him has gone unchallenged without him around.
Gerry has to become an errand boy for nearly every other criminal faction, even those once enemies, in the hopeless fight back to the family's former glory... But he may just have his own plans to adhere to yet.
