Of Mice and Men is a novella written by author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States. The story isn't mine. All credits belong to the author.

It's America in the 1960's, the peak of gang and Mafia rated activity. The Great Depression has settled, and out if the dust arose an immigrant rooted Mafia titled the "Mezzanotte Mafia". Two men, Vinny and Robbie, rise from the deep burning ashes of the Depression, and against all odds, concrete themselves into the hearts of New York, trying to get by and make their Mafia known. Vinny, a small man, and Robbie, a huge lumbering man, are polar opposites, and have seen through it all and have survived starvation, robberies, and dangers many people couldn't even begin to imagine. However, in the hustling bustling city of a young New York in the 1960's, will these men of opposite abilities be able to see it through once again?

"Would you like some cupcakes, M'lady?" "No." "A cheese cake, maybe?" "Nope." "A pastry then?" "Fuck off!" _______________________________________ When Valerie Donovan, the young daughter to the most powerful underworld lead, takes over her Father's role in the Mafia, she couldn't help but commence farther crimes than her father in his past age. She is ruthless, short-tempered and way more scarier than her Father and Tyrannosaurus combined. Kandy Karter, one might confuse his name for a pretty lady but in reality, he is one hot goofy baker man. He inhales optimism and exhales every sourness in the world. In the busy streets of New York, he owns a Patisserie and has mastered his art in culinary. He is all about 'Making and Baking.' When Valerie's soon to be sister-in-law, Juliet, drags her to choose the dessert and cake for the upcoming ceremony, Valerie is anything but content about it. She hates everything that involves sugar. But when Valerie crosses path with Kandy Karter looking hot in his pink apron, she realises that her hatred for Kandy is more than that for Sugar.
