Rogues' Gallery: The People of Cinci
Cincinnati is a city of 24 million souls, each with a story, a hustle, or a secret. From desperate hired help to sadistic prison guards and infamous celebrities, these are some of the faces you'll encounter in the sprawl. They are not your contacts, not necessarily your friends, but they are the lifeblood and the poison of the city.
