== Synopsis == | == Synopsis == | ||
The Lost and Damned plot bears an uncanny resemblance to ''Peter Pan'', down to both the biker gang and Peter Pan's entourage calling themselves "the Lost boys". The biker gang consists mostly of men in their late thirties and early forties, who are constantly pressured to "grow up" by abandoning their rough lifestyles, getting white-collar jobs and raising families. Billy Grey is the equivalent of Peter Pan, who is the most reckless of all and leads the others in a stubborn refusal of rational methodology (even in the case of Johnny, when Billy frowns upon him for making peace with the Angels of Death). Among many other similarities, another important element is the Lost Clubhouse's role as a dingy, dirty, hard-rock version of Neverland, where the gang members are liberated from conventional responsibilities like jobs or children, and free to partake in beer, motorcycles, bar brawls for sport and (even married men in the case of Jim Fitzgerald) strippers. When Johnny Klebitz and his fellow bikers feel compelled to "put this place out of its misery" by burning it to the ground, it is the end of Johnny's 34-year childhood and leads to the moral of the story - everyone has to grow up sometime. | The Lost and Damned plot bears an uncanny resemblance to ''Peter Pan'', down to both the biker gang and Peter Pan's entourage calling themselves "the Lost boys".

Across the West River from glamorous [[Algonquin]] lies [[Alderney]]; home to industrial wastelands, strip malls, dreary suburbia and The Lost Brotherhood, a notorious biker gang along with band of thieves, murderers and drug-runners. The Lost have sworn to live by their own rules, above the law and in complete allegiance to the brotherhood. Billy Grey, the clubs President, has one set of priorities: Bikes, Booze, Babes and Blow; in any order and preferably all at the same time. His second-in-command, Johnny Klebitz, knows that time is running out for this gang of outlaws, and with money to be made in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]], he is determined to make cash as quickly as possible before they all ride off into the sunset. Johnny has been in control of the club while Billy serves out a court-ordered stint in rehab. He has focused the gang’s activities on deals and truces, instead of petty vendettas, and has been making good inroads into Liberty City's organized crime world, even developing a working business relationship with the Angels of Death, long-term rivals of The Lost. One problem. Billy's coming home, and he's crazier than ever... | Across the [[West River]] from glamorous [[Algonquin]] lies [[Alderney]]; home to industrial wastelands, [[Honkers|strip malls]], dreary suburbia and The Lost Brotherhood, a notorious biker gang along with band of thieves, murderers and drug-runners.
