In Influence, your character is a young guy who has a chance to inherit a bunch of cash. But things are not so simple as that. For one thing, you have to graduate from a precise school and have the top grades. A lot of folks don't want you to succeed and will attempt to sabotage your efforts. You have a choice of fighting, convincing them to join your view, or corrupting them. You can do this through the power of mind control that you possess. But it doesn't work on all of them, so you don't know for sure what can happen.
