Reluctantly aided by his partner, Tiger, Grayson uncovers Agent Zero&;s origins within the secret lair of Spyral&;s deceased founder, Doctor Dedalus. In doing so, he and Tiger also become ensnared in a malevolent ouroboros, a self-consuming circle of violence that endlessly connects Spyral to the criminal organization known as Leviathan.
