Revamp Daredverse

What if the government never fixed itself? Technology advanced and it advanced, but somewhere along the way the government became warped beyond recognition, corruption and destruction seeping into the American way of life. The rest of the world is forced to watch as the US crumbles to a halt. Now New York, once a bustling hub of the American Dream, leads the charge in deception and sorrow, with two rival gangs rising up from the apocalyptic leftovers to take control of the city. Government is but a laughable figurehead, and the Southern Underground and Northern Bootleggers set to territorial war and expansion of their respective kingdoms. Among all of this, Damien Saiid, a prominent figure working under the Southern Underground, finds himself caught in the crossfire between peace and war, deception and truth, and his own conflicting ideals, when he brushes fates with the princely Jared Smith from his opposing gang. The two find themselves and their coworkers banding together despite everything against them, to fight for something better.
