Saints Row takes place in the fictional city of Stilwater, where the main character is involved in a conflict between four rival gangs. Despite the protagonist's attempts to remain uninvolved, you are drawn into the conflict and become a member of the Third Street Saints. As the game progresses, you go to war with Los Carnales, the Westside Rollers, and the Vice Kings, gaining status within the gang and taking over the city in the process. The city of Stilwater is torn apart by three ruthless criminal gangs competing for control of its streets. An ordinary bystander is caught in the middle of their violence and narrowly rescued by the 3rd Street Saints, a smaller crew determined to push the others out. Taken in and initiated into the gang, the newcomer proves their worth and begins working alongside the Saints' lieutenants. Their task is to dismantle each rival syndicate one by one and claim the city for the Saints.
