The story is told in medias res, and consists of three volumes: "The American Dream", "A Cold Day in Hell", and "A Bit Closer to Heaven". The game begins in 2001, as New York City finishes experiencing the worst blizzard in its history. Max Payne (voiced by James McCaffrey) is seen standing at the top of a damaged skyscraper as police units arrive. He experiences a flashback to three years prior, when he came home to find his wife Michelle (Haviland Morris) and their newborn daughter Rose murdered by armed junkies, who were high on a new designer drug called Valkyr. After their funeral, a distraught Max left the NYPD and accepted an offer to join the DEA.
