October 2004
In the dead of a New York winter, haunted detective Max Payne—hollowed by his family’s unsolved murder and drowning in painkillers—uncovers a conspiracy linking the Valkyr drug trade to the Aesir Corporation. With help from Internal Affairs officer Mona Sax, he navigates a brutal underworld of mob dons, fallen angels, dirty cops, and ruthless executives. As he closes in on CEO Nicole Horne, Max learns the truth: his wife was killed for witnessing Horne’s operation, and his quest for revenge is a slow suicide. In the end, justice comes at a cost—Max survives, but paralyzed, stripped of his badge, and finally at peace.
