The Panzarroti and Garibaldi families’ cross paths after a local steelworker is murdered at Port Kembla Iron and Steel Works in an identical style to a Camorra execution which occurred almost forty years ago in Naples.

The two family’s secret feud is exacerbated by the inheritance of one family’s fortune over the other, obstructed and dishonourably administered with prejudice by the Capo of the Giordano Clan, one of Naples’ most notorious Camorra Clans.

The financial and lifestyle arrangement that Giordano offered Marcello Di Paulo was an offer he could not refuse.
