The year is 1931, after years of bloodshed on the streets of New York, an unsteady peace now exists between the five powerful Italian crime families of the city. Don Charles 'Fierce' Valentino embarks on the next chapter of his quest for absolute power by ushering in his plans for a governing commission, one which will allow him to expand his influence throughout the United States. Meanwhile, fresh faced Anatolio Cataldo returns to America to be reunited with his estranged brother, Enzo Cataldo, a once respected founding member of The Valentino Crime Family. As the Cataldo brothers attempt to heal old wounds and maintain their bond against the struggles of the criminal underworld, a dark game of politics and violence ensues, one which not only threatens to destroy The Valentino Crime Family, but perhaps the city of New York itself.
