Meet Jack Wade, Headhunter. After awakening from a coma in a sterile hospital room, Jack realizes that his memories... his identity... even his mind, have all been stolen. The only way regain what he has mysteriously lost is by embarking on a shadowy quest for his past in hopes of saving his future. When the AntiCrime Network's chief officer is murdered in cold blood, it's up to Jack to bring his killers to justice by any means necessary. Join Jack along with his accomplice, the sultry Angela Stern in a tactical adventure where stealth and espionage aren't the best way to survive - they're the only way! Just remember - don't trust anyone you don't know. Oh, and by the way - YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE!

THE ANTI-CRIME NETWORK (ACN)
The Anti-Crime Network (ACN) is the nation's leading law enforcement agency, with an 83% market share of all crime fighting activity. While it plays a major role in the day-to-day maintenance of law and order, the ACN is primarily targeted against organized crime. This has led its elite force of officers to assume many of the responsibilities of the former FBI and ATF agencies. The ACN is supplemented by private Headhunters contracted exclusively to track and capture wanted criminals. A private organization appointed by government, the ACN is headed by a Director accountable to the President of the United States of America. Operational Chiefs with jurisdiction over Field Officers, Headhunters, Intelligence and other areas report to the Director.

LEILA
The Law Enforcement Intelligence and Licence Approval unit (LEILA) is an administrative organization appointed by central government to support and regulate law enforcement activity. LEILA maintains an extensive database of criminal records and other information needed in the fight against organized crime. It is also responsible for issuing licences and equipment to private law enforcers. LEILA works closely with the Anti-Crime Network. It supervises Headhunters contracted by the ACN to capture wanted offenders, as well as those working freelance.
