We all know the story. The big scary mob boss with a heart of stone meets a sweet innocent girl and falls in love, but the man's past comes back to haunt him and he almost loses the girl. Almost. In the end love always triumphs and all the man's previous misdeeds are forgotten.
But what if we were to turn that narrative on its head, tell the story from the villains' perspective? And maybe, just maybe for once the villains don't have to lose.
This is the story of Retribution.
