Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories

Storyline

In 1998, Antonio "Toni" Cipriani returns to Liberty City after years in exile for killing a made man. Eager to reclaim his place in the Leone crime family, he's met with suspicion, low-level jobs, and a bitter rival who tries to have him killed. As tensions escalate between the Leone family and rival Mafia factions, Toni navigates betrayal, shifting alliances, and personal conflicts—including with his own mother—all while slowly earning the trust of Don Salvatore Leone. Along the way, he helps dismantle rival families from within, making dangerous moves that raise both his status and the stakes. As Liberty City's criminal underworld spirals into full-blown war, Toni becomes a key player in the Leones’ struggle for dominance. He juggles high-stakes assassinations, political manipulation, and uneasy alliances with power-hungry businessmen and vengeful outsiders. With the Leones edging closer to total control, Toni faces his biggest challenge yet—confronting the true architect of the chaos engulfing the city. By the end, he’s no longer a disgraced enforcer clawing for respect—he’s a central figure in the future of Liberty City's Mafia order.
