My Best Friend's in The Mafia?

Growing up in foster care and a group home fucking sucks but if you make friends it's not as bad so that's what i did.

My best friend melanie and i decided we were gonna move to new york soon after turning 18. We wanted a new start, get away from our shitty old lives in Connecticut.

She wants to find her real family but what happens when the mafia is tied into all of it? Why did they get rid of her?
