In the gritty underbelly of 1920s Chicago, where Prohibition fuels crime and power is bought in blood, James "The Cut" Marveli rises from the shadows. Born to humble immigrant roots, James learns early that respect is earned, not given, and he carves his path with ruthless determination. A master strategist with a razor-sharp mind and even sharper instincts, he's quickly marked as a force within Sal Ricci's crime family, ascending from small-time enforcer to one of the most feared gangsters in the city.

But when his bold tactics spark a deadly war with Chicago's feared Irish mob, led by the unrelenting Sean O'Reilly, James finds himself on the front lines of a brutal battle for control of the North Side. As alliances shift and his enemies close in, James must outmaneuver rivals, build a network of influence, and make sacrifices that test his loyalty and his conscience. In a world where every victory comes with a price, James "The Cut" Marveli faces his greatest challenge yet: not just to win power but to keep it, no matter the cost.

This is the story of a man who becomes a legend, a gangster who defies the odds, and the blood-soaked rise of a new king of Chicago.
