Your rising star was shining bright and you were going straight to the top. And once misfortune struck, it struck hard. In an instant, the days of living large in the prestigious high-rises were gone. Looks like you need to go back to doing what you know best - bouncing the door at your old job in the Green Door club. Seems that, much like you, the club has nowhere to go but up, and so it’s time to bring it back to its former glory. Get. To. Work!(Storyline via IGDB)
