The family man; an invisible lurking fear among those involved in organized crime. No one's ever seen him, no one's ever heard him coming, and no one knows who he is. No one knows that he goes by Junior and that his father taught him everything he knows, because his father was the "family man" before him. And as his father lay dying, he is finally prepared to continue the infamous work that his last name bares - the American Government's solution to organized crime: Train someone, make it look like they never existed, and make them methodically hunt and kill the scum of the earth because it's necessary and justified. Unless, of course, Junior has other motives.
