Janus' Tears synopsis

From Prima Games:

"Joanna Dark, a bounty hunter-turned-corporate superagent of the mysterious Carrington Institute, is a footsoldier in a new kind of war. Powerful business entities, called "hypercorporations," are locked in a covert struggle for global dominance with the average man on the street none the wiser. The Carrington Institute may just be the only thing that stands between the sinister dataDyne Corporation, and total domination.

Dedicated to the destruction of dataDyne, Joanna has brought her deadly skills to bear in countless battles with the Institute's enemies, wherever they may be found. Now she brings the fight to the mean streets of Los Angeles. Her employer, Daniel Carrington, has tasked her with a dangerous undercover mission in L.A., - a hunt for a turncoat within the Institute's own ranks, a double-agent that is selling them out to dataDyne.

But not everything is what it seems, as Joanna is suddenly locked in a high-stakes conflict with a lethal, secretive mercenary unit, treacherous double-agents, and her own fears and doubts. And throughout the fight, the mysterious traitor may just have Joanna dead to rights..."
