The Beetham, known better by its occupants as The Slums, is a neighborhood in Soloris City that has been known to have a much higher rate of crime than the rest of the city. It is a down market area where many who cannot afford the apartments and penthouses of the main city live, the property prices of the Slums being lower due to the corruption.

When she was a child, Johanna Lowe witnessed a local gang murder a group of kids playing basketball for no apparent reason. Because of this, she became a target of the gang, fearing she would tell the police of what she saw.
Later, Mr.Tempest published a column about the incident, catching the attention of it's readers, who share the columnist's feelings.
