gameinformer.com:

The newest Magic: The Gathering set brings Planeswalkers to a whole new plane and the bustling city of angels and demons called New Capenna. The city is run by five families, each with a demon at the head of the table, controlling various aspects of the metropolis' economy. Streets of New Capenna harnesses the golden-age feel of the roaring '20s full of glitz and glamor juxtaposed by a nefarious criminal element, all vying for control of a mysterious magical substance called Halo.

The story, which you can read in full on the Magic: The Gathering website, centers around the Planeswalker Elspeth, who is sent to New Capenna's plane by Ajani Goldmane to find out if this is where she originates from. There, she becomes curious about why only demons remain in the city when angels also helped build New Capenna. While attempting to solve this quandary, she meets Giada, a teen who has some sort of connection to the Halo substance every crime family wants to get a hold of.

Also on this plane are Vivien Ried, the green-centered Planeswalker who wields a powerful weapon called the Ark Bow, and the demon Ob Nixilis who is escalating tensions and conflicts between the families of New Capenna by hoarding his own separate stockpiles of precious Halo. 

New Capenna is run by five demon-run crime families, each with a specific role to play within the city. All five families use three colors of the Magic color pie, allowing for individuality in the roles they all play in the city and on the battlefield. All five families have a new mechanic that supports the theme fitting how it operates within New Capenna.
