Everyone has heard of the Godfathers the definitive representation of what it is to be an Italian Mafioso, from the dusty mountainside of Sicily to the posh New York avenues. Some choose to leave the fatherland for greener pastures; some turn the dust into gold dust. Lombardi and Romano family are the prime example of this. They did not do anything to be proud of; they started off from small-time smuggling and proceeded to assassinations and drug deals. Name any illegal activity in Italy and some or the other way you can trace its initiation to these two. This might lead to a bitter rivalry between the two, right? Wrong! Instead of being at each other's throat, the two families decided to work together and increase the profits. They have been friends for decades and do not let any other group break their monopoly over the European underworld. When the young generation come together, will the friendship between Aurora Lombardi and Giovanni Romano remain the same, or will there be rivalry? They both are poles apart: one is sunshine, and the other is darkness. Will this friendship persist in the near future or some dark unknown and supremely powerful entity, way above their reach tears it to pieces? Let's find out together.......
