The mafia rules with an invisible hand that reaches from beyond the former Iron Curtain. Ruthless men vie to reign as kings over their profitable corners of Little Odessa, and no one can be trusted.

From the FBI agent undercover, the son eager to take over the family business, the mother who will do whatever it takes to protect her family, and the daughter who is learning her whole life is a lie, all of them are caught in a tangled web of crime, ambition, and revenge.
