help with the ending


A synopsis of the ending would be great but basically im wondering what was Dusty's motivation to commit all these murders and why would he want his brother dead? Also did Dreamer ever realize what he was doing?

Dusty didn't kill his brother, Detective Cunningham did. The good question here is why. I think Detective Cunningham killed Dreamer's brother because Detective Cunningham is unstable and probably thought it would be fun. Or maybe he did it in order to shift the power within the gang "just to see what would happen." Maybe Shaggy had some intel to bring Detective Cunningham down. I don't know.

Dreamer did eventually realize that he was responsible and was disgusted with himself. Dusty wanted Dreamer to commit the murders because he figured he could use Dreamer as a pawn to eliminate the people who stood between him and being the leader of the gang.

There is no flavor text!
