Setting is modern day New York City. Organized crime is at its height with the Sicilian (Italian) Mafia in full swing. The wealthiest of the four families is the Capizzi family, their grasps heavily embedded with the most powerful institutions and companies in the city. New York is THEIR territory, although mainly the East side. Coming up in a close second in wealth is the Messina family who hail from LA but are more recently in NYC (West) They have a grudge with the Capizzi’s as their Don has an ambition to rule both the East and West Coast. Genovese family from Miami, is as powerful as they are strong; known to be more brutal and unjust, trickery something they excel in. They’re more notorious for drug trafficking. Lucchese family is in the Chicago territory. They are powerful and strong with the worst reputation for carelessness. Their Don is more insane but is brilliant all in the same notion. They tend to be more of a younger mafia family, their Don being younger than most.

The four families do not agree on most and up until recently they have kept to their own territories and dealings. Each family has a ‘group’ or ‘set’ of representation in New York City. But there has been circumstances in which either one family is invading territory and proprietors of other families, or even more dangerous is the threat and rise of the Japanese Mafia who have come to the states years ago but has more recently rose in power….thirsty to take over the American soil from the Sicilian’s. There are three families in the Japanese Mafia, which hail in New York, Las Vegas, and Seattle. It has become a huge issue for the Capizzi family, and soon it will affect the other Sicilian (Italian) families. Will they come together as one, continue to haste upon one another, or will the Japanese dominate? A war is defiantly on the horizon…who will rise and who will ultimately fall?

Everything will take place in New York City, mainly. All families are there, they usually try and stay respectful but there are power struggles that leads the families to rival against one another most of the time. There is a lot of crime, extortion, drugs, scandals, and everything else going on between and within all of the families. It’s not like they see one another on the street and start shooting or stabbing, there are many times that members of the family are around one another in public settings. Dating outside of the ‘family’ is looked down upon, although happens and can be forgiven as long as it is NOT with another mafia family….even though we know that’s going to happen! The mafia ‘families’ are not blood “families” and there are initiations and legalities involved in being in the mafia.

If you wikipedia "Sicilian Mafia" you will find alot of information on structure, rules, and lingo used for this type of Mafia.
