In a world where loyalty is everything, betrayal is deadly...


When Mike Kelly first hears the word "mafia" from his best friend, Johnny Sangremano, it sounds like a dark secret-a shadowy criminal empire that Johnny's family dominates. Both men make promises: Johnny swears he'll never join the mafia, and Mike vows to avoid his father's path as a cop. Instead, they set off on a daring adventure, crisscrossing the country in a beat-up biplane, chasing freedom and fortune.


But dreams shatter, and fate pulls them back to the streets of New York, where a brutal war between crime families erupts. As loyalties are tested and choices become life-or-death, Mike and Johnny must decide where they truly stand.


Will Mike and Johnny survive the streets, or will they become pawns in a deadly game?
