Under the chandeliers of New York's Waldorf Astoria, Philly raises a glass and unspools the story of a lifetime-the rise, the betrayal, and the blood oath of his unbreakable bond with the Kid.
From the docks of Los Angeles to the shadows of the mafia underworld, their partnership forged an empire. They built businesses, outmaneuvered rivals, and carved their names in a world where loyalty was currency and betrayal was fatal. But when the Kid left for New York, Philly's path twisted darker, his rise into the ranks of a made man sealed with violence and silence.
Years later, fate-and the law-pulled them back together. In New Jersey, they built something bigger, something almost untouchable. Their reach stretched from boardrooms to the streets of Europe, where every victory carried a price. Then came Teresa-the Kid's greatest love and his greatest vulnerability.
But enemies never forget. Legal wars and hidden vendettas close in, threatening to burn down everything they've built. To survive, Philly, the Kid, and their loyal crew must outwit the system, outfight their enemies, and outlast the shadows that refuse to let them go.
Brotherhood. Power. Betrayal. Love.
In their world, nothing is clean-and nothing is ever over.
