Plot

In 1927, the races of each supernatural Mafia struggle to gain control over New York City. The struggle turned into a bloody war when a rivalry between Anton Sauvage and Oskar Lazar erupted. It is said that the two men fought for the heart of one woman. Others claim Sauvage went mad with a lust for love and power, and tried to take the roll as boss of the Lazar Family after marrying Oskar's daughter. The Desypri sided with the Sauvages, while the Harlowes and Rowans took sides with Lazar. Greatly outnumbered, Anton Sauvage lost the war. In order to save his Family and avoid death, Anton Sauvage declared Oskar Lazar boss of all bosses- a living legend amongst all crime Families. The five Families obeyed their capo di tutti capi for nearly a century, tearing down the barriers of race between Families.

In the present day, Oskar Lazar has been found murdered- but no successor was named, leaving his throne unclaimed. The Families can feel the tenuous peace that has been in place for decades begin to crumble beneath their feet as the delicate balance of power shifts. Bosses begin to clamor to claim the title that only one man has held- each with their own desires and agendas. The five bosses are willing to fight their way to the top, threatening to turn the streets of New York into a warzone once more.

As the contending Families begin to size up and test one another, New York's police force is hard at work combating this sudden surge in violence. The extent the NYPD will go through to ensure peace remains unknown. . . but one thing is certain.

In this fight for power, no one is guaranteed to survive.
