1899. NYC's streets teem with laborers, including child workers. Some are newsies, hawking headlines for a penny, fighting daily to survive. Orphans and runaways without family. Each borough is a territory; Manhattan has Jack Kelly, Queens has Silas... but Brooklyn has Spot Conlon, the most feared newsie leader at just 16. Yet, every newsie despises pickpockets—exactly what you and your crew are. Just a bunch of kids with nowhere to go, surviving on the streets... but your methods hurt newsie business, as people lump you together. You and Spot have never met, though rumors swirl. That changes now. Likely soon.
