Synopsis
Johnny Klebitz is a veteran member of The Crocks, a notorious biker gang. Johnny has been creating business opportunities for The Crocks in Pencaster, but his first loyalty must be to the patch he wears on his back and to Billy Grey, the club's President. However, when Billy returns from rehab hell-bent on bloodshed and debauchery, Johnny finds himself in the middle of a vicious turf war with rival gangs for control of a city torn apart by violence and corruption, pitting his brotherhood on the very edge.

Plot
Johnny Klebitz, Vice President of the Alderney chapter of The Crock MC, and his lieutenants, Jim Fitzgerald, Terry Thorpe, and Clay "C-Dawg" Simmons, have been busy protecting the gang's business interests in Pencaster, while Johnny is extremely loyal to the chapter president, Billy Grey, who was recently sent to rehab for heroin addiction after narrowly avoiding a fifteen-year sentence in prison.

When Billy returns, his violent actions towards the gang's rivals, the Angels of Death, causes a previously established truce to be broken between the two gangs, threatening the Brotherhood's survival. Johnny and Jim sabotage Angels of Death business at the behest of Billy Grey, which includes stealing Dragons of Death bikes to be sold for parts and blowing up Dragons of Death vans with pipe bombs. They briefly have problems with two corrupt police officers who are attempting to extort them due to the stolen bikes, and later lure them into a death trap set by the Crocks, killing them and their corrupt PCPD colleagues.

To further complicate matters, Jason Michaels, a recently patched-in member of the Crock MC, is killed in Fleeca City during an attack on members of the Crocks by the Dragons of Death. Billy uses the opportunity to convince Johnny that the DoD were responsible for the murder, rather than the actual killer. In retaliation, the gang attacks the Dragons of Death clubhouse and secures a large amount of heroin.

The gang attempts to sell the heroin through Langham Institute student-soldier and arms-drugs mogul Toad Sanderson, but the buyer turns out to be an undercover cop. Following the botched deal, Billy introduces Johnny to Thomas Stubbs III, a corrupt Congressman who pays Johnny to help him stay on top politically. Eventually, Johnny's friend and Treasurer of the Lost Brotherhood, Jim Fitzgerald, learns that the heroin was stolen from the Triads by the Angels of Death, so the gang attempts to sell it back to them, only to be betrayed. The police capture Billy, who is sent back to prison.

Following Billy's arrest, Johnny becomes the chapter's new president. However, Brian Jeremy, the Club Secretary refuses to follow, having been fiercely loyal to Billy and blaming Johnny for his arrest. Brian attempts to ambush Johnny and his loyalists using a peace meeting at the docks as a ruse, sending members of his rebel faction after them, and so Johnny is forced to later ambush and kill Brian and members of his rebel faction at his safehouse. In order to keep the gang afloat, Johnny begins working with people such as Uptown Riders members Malc and DeSean, and is forced to get his girlfriend, Ashley Butler out of trouble by stopping her having an affair with another Langham student, Rob Broflovski. Johnny eventually comes to help out drug kingpin Ray Bulgarin, who is Ashley’s superior, at her recommendation.

Through Bulgarin, Johnny steals the Aether, an Ori symbiote formed out the Reality Stone (one of the six Infinity Stones) and contained within an advanced sealing device, from Mystic Arts master Joseph "Mystic Joe" Prince and attempts to sell it to the Jewish Mafia with the help of Langham students Lance Patrick and Zowie Hosker, however the deal fails after Sculpin, Megahorn, Gekkor and Hekatoid of the Ten Terrors disrupt it, and Hekatoid is electrocuted to death by Mystic Joe's pupil, Luis Lopez, who reclaims the Aether, and so Johnny fights Sculpin, Megahorn and Gekkor, and manages to escape, and intercepts Luis before seizing the Aether from him. after dealing with Bulgarin's henchmen, planning to keep it for the Brotherhood. During the escape, an angry Bulgarin kidnaps Jim and tortures him while holding Johnny at gunpoint, but the two escape.

Johnny fights off several hitmen working for Bulgarin and ultimately learns from Ashley outside the Crock MC Clubhouse that Jim was killed by one of Bulgarin's men. He plans to attack Bulgarin but is told by Stubbs not to, who reckons that Bulgarin will either be "locked up or dead within a month" and so instead focuses on Billy, who has agreed to testify against Johnny and Angus Martin so that he may be freed from prison. Johnny, Terry, C-Dawg and other members of the Lost infiltrate the prison and kill Bulgarin, while Johnny personally executes Billy.

Afterward, the remnants of the Crocks burn the clubhouse down, as it has sustained heavy damage due to the conflict with Bulgarin. The group stands in front of the burning building contemplating the future. In the aftermath, Johnny arrives at a newly-seized Crock MC clubhouse from Brian, where Angus informs that the club has decided to change its ways and become a force for good in the city, and that the Aether was entrusted to the Furlings, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands again. Before resuming active duty, Angus presents Johnny with a memorial for Jim.
