Follows the American Mafia from their early development in New York City neighborhoods through Prohibition, to the boom days of the 1950's. It explores how public violence, involvement in the drug trade, and appearances at government hearings affected the families' operations and conflicted with their alleged code of honor.
Rise of The New Dons focuses on the deadly conflict between the Families’ old guard and a new generation of younger, American-born, mobsters willing to defy the authority of the bosses and the long-established rules in order to fulfill their own ambitions of power, wealth, and revenge.
The Last Don shows how a decidedly new, more aggressive commitment by law enforcement to “eradicate” the mafia forces the families to find creative ways to stay in business and out of jail. But it’s not as easy as it’s been in the past and some are willing to throw it all away, once and for all.
