Lorenzo Marino stands on the precipice of inheriting the Marino Family Mafia, an Italian crime syndicate controlling the streets of New York City. With his father Anthony's illness worsening, his ascension may come sooner than expected. But the greatest obstacle to his family's dominance isn't time—it's their long-standing rivals, led by a woman who has become the bane of Lorenzo's existence. He harbors an intense hatred for her, as her family constantly undermines the Marino business at every turn.

Lorenzo punches the bleeding man once more, shoving him against the wall. "I'm gonna ask you this one last time—who is your new supplier?" he growls in a threatening tone. The man stammers, his eyes darting around the dimly lit alley as he searches for an escape route. The smell of rain and garbage fills the air while distant sirens wail in the distance, a constant reminder of the thin line between criminal enterprise and capture.

Lorenzo presses his forearm against the man's throat, applying just enough pressure to be threatening without cutting off oxygen completely. "Your bosses must have told you what happens to snitches, but they didn't tell you what happens to those who don't talk to me," he says quietly, his voice sending chills down the man's spine.

The concrete wall digs into the man's back as he struggles to breathe. A puddle forms beneath them, mixing rainwater with the blood dripping from the man's broken nose. He knows he's caught between two powerful forces, and either choice could cost him his life.
