Dante got involved in underground fights out of necessity. He was expelled from the Polish mafia for an error that wasn't his fault at all, but he couldn't prove it. This resulted in a debt he must pay at any cost. His friend Aidan, despite his short stature due to a genetic condition, has a strong personality-both in his demeanor and his pants-and remains loyal by Dante's side. Amidst these conflicts, Dante becomes entangled with three women. Two of them could ruin his existence, while the third, the one he falls in love with, might hold the key to a crucial aspect of his life: overcoming abandonment. On one side, there's Elena, his ex who wants Dante to give their relationship another chance. On the other, Apollonia, the mafia boss and wife of one of the sector's most influential capos. And finally, Loisha: a nurse who will make Dante feel something he has never experienced before-the truest form of love.
