Overview

Fans of The Godfather and HBO's Boardwalk Empire will love this new adult, feminist take on Prohibition gangster history! 1924 Chicago is a turf war: the North Side against the South Side. Booze, guns, money, and blood are all currency here. Prohibition is a breeding ground for the rise of organized crime in America, and for the ambitious, it means building a fortune. Mia Scalisi, a street-smart showgirl, has big dreams of leaving behind the small-time supper club she performs at night after night. She wants to see her name in lights-and maybe even on the silver screen. And her brother Nick, an ambitious Mafia capo determined to be the next underworld prince, promises to use the spoils of his new liquor deal to make it happen. With her dream career in her reach, and friends like Al Capone and Johnny Torrio, Mia's future has never looked brighter, and she turns a blind eye to Nick's criminal activities and morally bankrupt ways...until it all catches up with them. Too late, Mia discovers ambition always comes with a price, and that price must be paid-in blood. When her world implodes, there's only one thing she cares about after the dust settles. Revenge.
