In the city of Spokane, Washington a seemingly happy city is about to go through the darkest time in its history and it will all be done at the hands of one evil mastermind who will seek to wreak havoc and chaos just to watch everything around him go to hell.

Thomas Barton who is a 26-year-old career criminal orphan is feeling angry towards society and life in general. He doesn’t see any point in going on in the world. He comes up with a plan, a dark and twisted plan which is to become an infamous killer in his hometown of Spokane, Washington. He feels he needs to get revenge on a society that he feels has wronged him in every way possible.

Thomas decides he needs to get money and supplies to commit these horrific acts, so he does what any criminal would do he organizes himself and gets ready to commit a robbery against a local gun dealer Robert who has supplied Thomas with weapons in the past. Thomas gets in his car and drives six miles to get to Robert’s home where he has his weapons shack out back. Thomas breaks the door open with a crowbar and begins to pack a duffel bag with all sorts of weapons ranging from small knives to an assault rifle. Thomas tried to get out there smoothly but feels someone is watching him, so he hides and then sneaks out as quickly as possible. Thomas gets as far away from Robert’s house as he can and decides that he will begin his killing spree tomorrow night.

In the middle of the night Thomas wakes up because he is having trouble sleeping because the guilt of what he has become is starting to get to him before it really begins. He tries to have a normal morning by eating breakfast and going for a walk. However, during his walk, he is spotted by the new chief of the Spokane Police Department who is aware of who Thomas is and decides to question and harass him which only makes Thomas more hateful. Thomas gets thrown on the ground and illegal searched. However, Thomas isn’t carrying anything illegal on him, so the chief just wasted his own time. After his walk he decides to come up with a plan as he doesn’t want to just go out and kill randomly with no plan but coming up with a plan as bad as his isn’t as simple as he originally thought it would be. He tries to map out some targets but that doesn’t work then he tries to think about where to start in general but that doesn’t really work out either. So instead of randomly targeting victims he decides to target an old girlfriend someone who had him put away for 2 years on false charges that he got convicted for anyways, the same girl who put him through hell and back. However, this plan doesn’t go well anyways so she has nothing to worry about. That very lucky girl.

Thomas decides to start on the other side of the city, so it would not be near him. He goes shopping for things such as gloves, hammers and other things that
