Synopsis/Details
It’s 1955, and Jake Nomad, all of five years old through the dining room window as his father get shot by two men on his front stoop. Fast forward to 1979, Jake wants revenge, and the promise he made to his mother not to pursue his father’s killers has died with her. He seeks answers for questions haunting him his entire life: who killed his father and why?
Discovering the truth leads him into a web of deceit, corruption and cover-up between the Mafia, NYPD, the FBI, and a close family member. Along the way, he unwittingly sets up a murder of a Mafia member and organizes a successful kidnapping of the head of the Carmino family - all of which cause reverberations in the organizations that Jake is unknowingly making waves in. While Jake is busy tracking down his father's killers, the Mafia is busy setting him up as a pawn to be used in their own Machiavellian political plays. And to make matters more complicated, Jake’s father has been alive all these years under witness protection.
