##### Chapter 1

The game begins where the movie ends, during the mansion shootout where Tommy Vercetti's hitmen raid Decjuan DeMarco's mansion, killing many of his men, and his sister, Mercedes. In this timeline, Decjuan spots Sonny Forelli, and guns him down before he can land the final blow that killed him. Decjuan barely makes it out of the residence, escaping while he's presumed dead. One month later, he makes his return to Vice City, and reconnects with an old employee under him, Bolo. Bolo says he's working for a Rico Fuente, one of the new drug lords that rose after Decjuan's downfall. Decjuan would pull a few small jobs for Bolo that were done really for Rico. After this point in the game, you are required to take over, and extort fronts for Bolo. This leads to a deal with Haitians, related to Emmanuele's old gang, Decjuan would realize that Bolo was setting him up this entire time. This leads to the mission 'El Diablo', where Decjuan takes Bolo as bait for Rico at the warehouse in Little Havana. Decjuan kills Rico, Bolo and numerous counts of men. Eventually, with the surrendering men, Decjuan would offer them a job. Re-forming the DeMarco Cartel.

##### Chapter 2

Once Little Havana was taken over, and the DeMarco Cartel is formed. Decjuan has to make $164,300 to buy the mansion off the cops before unlocking Chapter 2. This is achieved by extorting fronts, and with the recently unlocked 'Empire' mode, taking over/buying warehouses and drug labs, drug supplies, and selling the product. As the 'Contractor' perk isn't unlocked yet, Decjuan has to partake in the deals himself, rather than sending his men. When the mansion is bought, Chapter 2 is engaged.
