Five years ago, Carl Johnson left behind the chaos of Los Santos, San Andreas—a city plagued by gang violence, drugs, and corruption, where celebrities and millionaires steer clear of the dangers lurking in the streets.
Now, it’s the early ’90s, and Carl is pulled back to his hometown. His mother has been murdered, his family is broken, and his old friends are on a path to ruin.
Returning to Los Santos, CJ finds a city changed but no less deadly. His neighborhood, once familiar, is now a battleground of rival gangs fighting for territory, where survival often depends on alliances and respect. The streets he once knew are now controlled by dangerous forces, with even the police adding to the corruption that grips the city.
Framed for murder by crooked cops, CJ is thrust into a high-stakes journey across San Andreas. From the gritty neighborhoods of Los Santos to the casinos of Las Venturas and the countryside in between, he must rebuild his life, reclaim his family’s honor, and secure his place in a city that wants him gone. In a struggle for loyalty and power, Carl Johnson is forced to rise, take back what’s his, and fight for control of the streets before they consume him.
