It all started with me being in the wrong place at the worst time possible.

One minute, I'm a street-urchin without a home or family, and the next minute, I witness the death of the most powerful man in New York.

In a twist of fate, the death of a stranger created for me the kind of life I never even dreamed possible.

Witnessing the murder of Don Antonio, head of the mafia triggered a life-altering change for me.

Suddenly I was no longer the lonely orphan, nor was I alone anymore.

I became part of a powerful underground machine and a family at the same time—a mafia family.

However, this family comes with a unique set of rules and responsibilities that are non-negotiable.

And now I must prove my street smarts, ability to stick to the rules, and that I deserve to be favored by my adopted father, the new Don of the biggest mafia organization in New York.

Failure would mean going back to the streets and sealing my fate as a nobody, with an unappealing future.

And that would, of course, be a mercy compared to the more likely outcome - death.

The right choice is always clear to a wise guy until something unexpected arrives - love with the completely off-limits girl of my dreams.
