Scott Hudson, 2024

In the bustling streets of New York, a gripping tale unfolds, chronicling the lives of five childhood companions - Will, Neil, Chris, Hal, and Collin. From their formative years to becoming esteemed members of the Italian mafia, the Morettis, these friends have remained inseparable. However, as their paths intertwine with the treacherous world of organized crime, their loyalties and convictions are put to the ultimate test. Amidst this dangerous landscape, Will Hunt, a former soldier turned trusted associate of the Moretti family, grapples with a harrowing decision. Desperate to safeguard his beloved family from the perils of their underworld existence, Will yearns to sever ties with the mafia. His plea for emancipation is met with a precarious ultimatum from the formidable Moretti - he will be released from his obligations only after finalizing a crucial territorial pact with the Russian mafia, the Nagirevs. Just as the fateful deadline looms, Will receives a chilling call informing him of the abduction of his wife, Kelly, and their innocent four-year-old daughter, Carrie. The purported captors, the Nagirevs, demand a harrowing ransom - the life of his own boss, Moretti. With the ominous threat of his family's demise hanging in the balance, Will is thrust into a treacherous game of deceit and retribution, orchestrated by forces far more insidious than he could have imagined. Unbeknownst to Will, the orchestrator of this diabolical scheme is none other than Inspector Clark, a figure of authority entangled in a web of malevolence and corruption. As the intricate web of deceit unravels, alliances fracture, and adversaries collide, plunging the city into a maelstrom of chaos and peril. Amidst this turmoil, a poignant exploration of love, loyalty, and sacrifice unfolds. Kelly, the resilient wife and mother, finds herself ensnared in a perilous predicament. Faced with unimaginable terror, she grapples with the agonizing choice of aiding her husband from captivity, while Will, consumed by anguish and determination, embarks on a relentless quest to rescue his cherished family from the clutches of malevolence. Meanwhile, the Russian and Italian mafia teeter on the brink of conflict, their territorial ambitions clashing with the volatile machinations of a city on the brink of upheaval. As alliances fracture and vendettas escalate, the fragile balance of power threatens to implode, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. In the crucible of this high-stakes power struggle, the boundaries between loyalty and betrayal blur, as each faction vies for supremacy. With lives hanging in the balance and the specter of retribution looming large, the characters are propelled into a harrowing ordeal, where the pursuit of justice, vengeance, and salvation converge in a gripping saga of peril and redemption.
