THE STORY
Welcome to the Keystone Syndicate.
Billy June isn't just your average criminal enforcer. After his brother Clyde — a top member of the criminal Keystone Syndicate — is declared dead, Billy's California dream with his girlfriend Alice slowly collapses.
Burdened by his family debts and struggling to fill the void his brother left behind, he turns to the last way he knows how to make guaranteed cash: The Keystone Syndicate.
But the deeper Billy climbs within the Syndicate means learning the one thing Clyde never told him: no body gets out clean.
Nine issues of pulp, paranoia, and east-coast grit. SCOUNDRELS is our first statement as a comic book studio and we couldn't be more ready for you to read it.

A young outsider chasing the shadow of the brother he idolized. Intelligent, driven, and emotionally compromised, Billy believes he can navigate the Syndicate the way Clyde did — without becoming it.

Alice Evans
A perceptive nursing student trying to protect the life she and Billy built. As Billy sinks deeper into the Syndicate, her principles become the conscience he cannot afford to lose.
