Production Details
Synopsis:
Fleeing a murder charge in his native homeland of Palermo, Sicily, in Italy, young Carlo Gambino finds refuge in the United States of America. It is the Roaring Twenties, and New York is a melting pot of decadence and excess. As well as unprecedented violence. The Volstead Act creates a new and booming black market for booze, one which gangsters of all denominations seek to control. While Jewish and Irish gangsters carve out a nominal niche for themselves in the liquor trade, the dominant players remain the Italian-American Mafia, also known as La Cosa Nostra. Carlo joins a Cosa Nostra crew run by his cousins, the Castellanos, who in turn work for a rising Mafia upstart by the name of Charles “Lucky” Luciano. Carlo’s business smarts increase the crew’s earnings substantially, garnering the attention of Lucky Luciano, who promotes Carlo, and takes the younger Gambino under his wing. But soon, Luciano, Gambino, and their entire outfit find themselves in the middle of a brutal gang war between Salvatore Maranzano and Joseph.
