The series—created by actor, producer, and director, William DeMeo— set in 1986 follows the events surrounding DeMeo’s Benny Zerletta, a member of the Colezzo crime family in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Gravesend. In season 1, he is torn between following the good life inculcated in him by his devout Catholic parents and a life of crime. He is disowned when he picks the latter as the series dives into the complicated and dangerous life he has chosen.

Season 2 is slated to premiere in spring/summer 2022.
