Mario Puzo's best selling novel comes to life in this epic saga of America's most powerful crime family. Don Clericuzio is the wise and ruthless leader of an empire where the price of loyalty is paid in blood. When his only daughter marries the son of a rival mobster, a violent war is sparked between the two families that spans three generations. The Don's loyal hit-man Pippi de Lena is transferred to Vegas. Pippi's son, Cross grows up the reluctant heir to his father's bloody business. But Cross is torn between the woman he loves and the power of the Clericuzio family. He learns that trust is deadly and that nothing comes before The Family, not money, friendship, or even love. When Cross discovers the horrifying secret buried in the Clericuzio past, he is flung into a showdown with the Don and his own final quest for revenge.
