Plot
5 years after the explosion of Hughes' yacht, the player wakes up from a coma in a hospital ward of Stilwater Penitentiary, having received extensive plastic surgery. The player meets inmate Carlos Mendoza, who has had himself stabbed in order to meet the former. Carlos reveals that his brother was in the Saints, and the pair escape the island together. Upon returning to the Stilwater mainland, the player discovers that the Saint's old neighbourhood has been completely rebuilt by the Ultor Corporation, the clothing company, which, explained by Carlos, has grown into a powerful corporation after a devastating earthquake a few years ago (when the player was in a coma). After that, and with the emergence of three new gangs who wanted control of the city, the Saints had disbanded.
The player arrives at a local bar, discovering that Johnny Gat is on trial, and that he is likely to be placed on death row, and that Troy Bradshaw, Julius' enforcer, was an undercover cop and is now chief of the Stilwater P.D. The player rescues Gat from the courthouse, and Gat explains that Julius has gone missing since the yacht exploded, and that Dex dropped his flags and began working for Ultor. The player drops Johnny off home, where he also meets with Aisha, Johnny's girlfriend, who has faked her own death to avoid police attention. With Gat's help, the player sets up a new base of operations (a rundown motel which is under sea level due to the earthquake) and enlists three new lieutenants: Carlos, Shaundi and Pierce. The player, now referred to as the Boss for most of the game, leads the Saints in retaking city with Gat as second-in-command. The main storyline is divided into three separate story mission arcs, which may be completed at any time and in any order.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, revivd, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (16311700)
“Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“There comes a time in every mans education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
