NOT SINCE THE GODFATHER AND THE UNTOUCHABLES HAS THE AMERICAN UNDERWORLD BEEN SO VIVIDLY PORTRAYED.
It was from his best friend Johny Sangremano that Mike Kelly first hears the word mafia. It’s a secret crime organization, Johnny tells Mike, and the Sangremanos are one of the most powerful families. But he swears that he will never be a part of it—just as Mike vows never to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a policeman.
Instead, the two friends set out on their way across the country in a beat-up old biplane, seeking out a living as they go. But youthful dreams die bitter deaths, and before long they are back in New York where they learn there is only one way to escape the Mafia…
Two men bound by twisted loyalties…to the mob, the law and each other.
