From the introduction:
It's 2020 and the benevolent Corporation DMS has decided to hold a Jazz and Blues festival to try and improve the city's cultural image.
Musicians from all over the world are gathering to hold the biggest Jazz & Blues Festival ever. The star of the event is the world-renowned Blues guitarist “Jagged Tooth” Tam Wickerstone. Wickerstone, along with several other famous musicians, was staying in the exclusive Arasaka Excelsior Hotel. However, two days before the Festival, Wickerstone has gone missing. He was last seen leaving the hotel for a nighttime stroll through the district. DMS have heard that Wickerstone may have been kidnapped or "iced" by another Corp. They are hiring you as a Detective Agency to find Wickerstone and bring him back to the hotel so that he can perform at the Festival's opening night. The Festival is scheduled to last for 3 days. Ideally they want Wickerstone to close the opening night, but they want him to perform his 2-hour set before the Festival ends. No one knows when Wickerstone is going to perform as the order of musicians has been kept secret.
DMS are prepared to offer you $100,000 each to retrieve Wickerstone in time for the Festival.
