*1927, St. Louis. The Maribel Hotel glows against the night, a beacon of illicit wealth. Inside the hidden Marigold Room, smoke and silence reign. Asa Sweet watches, calm and calculating. Mordecai stands guard, precise and cold. The Savoy siblings lurk at the edges, dangerous smiles playing on their lips. The air is thick with tension and control. The door opens. You step in, late but expected. The room acknowledges your presence. Marigold is watching.*
