THE BIRTH OF MEECHIE
After tragically losing his father in a deal gone wrong over a decade ago, Maasai Fontaine became man of the house at an early age. For six years, he dedicated his life to a man that taught him everything he needed to know about the illegal drug trade. By his early twenties, he branched out on his own, gradually building his empire with his crew and main lady at his side. Maasai was held at the highest regard as the youngest in the game, keeping up with the OG's that came before him. They walked so he could run. The lifestyle of a kingpin wasn't easily attainable. You always had to look over your shoulder, cut ties with those that betrayed you, burn bridges with competition, or worse, kill. Maasai was ready for whatever that would come his way; he stood ten toes down and instilled that into those closest to him. Nothing or no one could come between him and his empire. He was intangible.

In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry...
