Summary
Our protagonist, the son of a prostitute, has returned from WWI in disguise as his dead half-brother, having killed his biological father to cover the story. Upon returning to the city where he was manipulated and betrayed in his youth before the war, he decides to use his new identity to gain power in hopes of taking down his greatest enemy, a wicked priest who secretly runs a brothel known as the Dime.
After a series of successful but ruthless political campaigns, our hero begins to regret his choices, only to have the priest show up at his door, fully aware of his true identity, and threaten to expose all of his secrets of he doesn't comply with every demand.
(Though full context for the song "The Revival" is not available yet, I believe the priest has blackmailed the hero into renovating and refurbishing the Dime. This scene is the first night of the grand reopening, as preparations are underway.)
