Thornton and Taylor are two feuding families in Liberty City. One day, members of the Taylor family ambushed members of the Thornton family. The guys from the Thornton family die, but one of them manages to escape. The escapee is the main character named Max. Mr. Thornton will not be happy if he escaped from his own, so Max goes to the airport and leaves the city on the first available flight. Max ends up in Los Santos. Fortunately, his friend named Rick lives in Los Santos. With his help, Max will start a new life in Los Santos.
Note. There is a racing mission. Since the racing checkpoints in DYOM are not very well done, you will have to slow down a little in front of them to hit them clearly.
