Story Breakdown
Chapter 1 – Kincaid’s Chronicles
“So you wanna hear a story, eh?”

The gang learns the Treasure is a shard that can heal. They do what anyone would do: shoot each other for fun. Realizing the shard can be the key to their own business, they try to raise capital.
Chapter 3 – Marketing Scheme
The gang infiltrates a game show. Anu sweats profusely. Octavio considers cheating. Fran makes a contestant feel awkward. So, great day!
Chapter 4 – Sink or Swim
Anu pitches her healing device. If they can avoid being devoured by sharks, they might actually get funding!
Chapter 5 – Future Tycoons
Packed to the gills with oodles of capital, the gang celebrates. They have a skateboard score, so, they’re officially a team!
Chapter 6 – Multitasking
The gang divides and conquers: Ock will find an office, Fran will find staff, and Anu will, naturally, find a corpse.
