Nine years after a failed robbery in the fictional town of Ludendorff, North Yankton, former bank robber Michael Townley and his family have relocated to Los Santos under a new identity. Michael is living a normal but boring life, until he encounters Franklin Clinton, a gangster who seeks to elevate himself in the Los Santos underworld, and unexpectedly encounters Trevor Philips, the only other survivor of the bank robbery in Ludendorff. The three join forces to carry out a daring task to rob the Union Depository and seize tens of millions of dollars worth of gold. However, the trio find themselves being taken advantage of by corrupt Feds, using the three to carry out their own agenda, as well as numerous confrontations with rival gangs and other criminals.
