Bad Blood

Vito Rizzuto, the alleged head of the Sicilian mafia in Canada, is the head of a veritable empire. To ensure the prosperity of all, he has imposed peace and collaboration between the different criminal groups in Montreal: Italians, bikers, Haitians and Irish. By keeping the peace between rival gangs, by establishing close ties with government officials and the police, Vito Rizzuto rules Montreal.  He has chosen Declan, despite his Irish origins, to be his most trusted man, his closest advisor, much to the dismay of his son, Nico Jr. who is desperate to be part of the family business. Vito Rizzuto is suddenly arrested and extradited to the Colorado prison for three murders committed in 1981.

Vito’s imprisonment leaves a void in management that is not easily filled. Will Declan be able to assert himself and gain respect?   And will Nico Jr. allow himself to be dictated to by this Irishman, a non-family member?
