GTA Vice City Background


Tommy has just got out of jail after a 15 year stretch and wants to get straight back to work for the mob. The Forelli's based in Liberty City are wanting to expand their empire and are looking South. They see rival gangs getting rich off the drugs trade and plan to send Tommy down to Vice City with some money so he can get in on the action. Once he is set up nicely, Sonny Forelli will move in and take control.

Vercetti heads south with a couple of other guys to meet mob lawyer, Ken Rosenberg, and buy some cocaine. The other guys' names** aren't important as they are killed when the deal is ambushed by a third gang. Tommy and Rosie only just get away.

Tommy Vercetti is in a new city with no money, no drugs, no gang and no idea who just nearly killed him.

GTA Vice City Plot

Sonny wants his money - and he wants it fast. Rosenberg's terrified that the mob will kill him and doesn't dare leave his office. He gives Tommy his invite to a party aboard Colonel Juan Garcia Cortez's yacht. It was the retired colonel who helped Rosenberg set up the failed exchange and it's hoped that the party might allow Tommy to mingle with someone who knows something. Cortez asks his daughter, Mercedes, to show Vercetti around and indeed there are plenty of players aboard.

There's Congressman Alex Shrub, although without his wife Laura. He seems to making do with the company of up and coming porn star - Candy Suxxx. They're talking to Kent Paul, an english guy trying his luck in warmer climates. Another traveling brit is amusing 2 girls on the other side. It's lead singer of scot rock band Love Fist, Jez Torrent. Then there's the Vice City Mamba's star tight-end, BJ Smith, talking property with Avery Carrington while a young man named Donald Love watches silently. The chatty trio in the corner are Cortez's right hand gimp - Gonzalez, film director Steve Scott and Pastor Richards. Making a late entrance is "Mr. Coke" himself, Ricardo Diaz. If anyone knows about the Vice City drug scene; it's him. Mercedes obviously doesn't think much of the little man with the big attitude. She quickly uses Vercetti as an excuse to get away.

Rosenberg thinks that Kent Paul should know some good leads, so Tommy goes to see him at the Malibu Club. Paul informs him that a chef called Leo Teal deals out of a kitchen in Ocean Drive. The chef puts up some resistance and Tommy ends up killing him. Three more chefs arrive bearing cleavers, but some unexpected assistance arrives in the form of Lance Vance. Lance was involved in the drug deal that brought Vercetti to Vice and his brother was killed when the deal went sour. He wants to get even and he wants his drugs back.

Cortez calls and says that he is attempting to find who stole the coke. Tommy does a few jobs for him, one of which includes taking a chainsaw to Gonzalez because it was apparently his loose talk which led to the ambush. Then he has Tommy oversee one of Diaz's drug deals. He bumps into Lance and the two of them look on while the deal goes down. Halfway through a bunch of Cubans turn up shooting and steal the money. Tommy recaptures it and returns it to Diaz. The coke baron likes Vercetti's style and offers him and Lance some work. After a while it becomes clear that Diaz was behind Tommy's failed drug deal and Lance is eager to get revenge. But he goes too far and Diaz becomes aware. The drug lord captures and begins to torture Lance Vance until Tommy rescues him. Then the boys head back to Diaz's mansion and erase Diaz from Vice City once and for all.

All that once belonged to Ricardo Diaz, now belongs to Vercetti. He's now got a mansion, a gang, some businesses and a protection racket. He's a made man. And that's only the beginning. He buys the Malibu Club, robs a bank, prints conterfeit money, produces porn films, becomes involved with a biker gang and the band Love Fist. It isn't long before Sonny hears of his success and sends the boys down. They attack Tommy's businesses and then head for the mansion. Tommy plans to pay them off with the counterfeit money but Lance, growing more and more restless of being in Vercetti's shadow, turns traitor and informs Sonny of the plan. The mob pours in and the fun begins. The goons go down. Lance Vance dances one last dance and then Sonny Forelli is left bleeding all over the hall carpet.

There's no stopping him now. Tommy Vercetti really owns Vice City.

One More Thing...
