The year is 1985. America is in the midst of an economic boom, and New York City sits at the center of the action as Wall Street firms rapidly expand. But a secret underworld found in alleyways and estates is still looming. The Commission of the Sicilian Mafia maintains control over the darker side of the Big Apple, from prostitution rings to the drug trade, to dirtying the names of unions.
Delegates are gathered here today to strategize how to halt the Commission and its illicit business by gathering and analyzing evidence of criminal acts partaken by known Mafiosi and bringing those who have sufficient connection to the violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to justice. While these tasks may seem simple, how this prosecution will unfold can’t be predicted in the slightest, but its importance in the canon of organized crime is more than certain. And above all else, delegates must remember that they are dealing with the most powerful organized crime syndicate in the country. They may be secretive, and they may be formidable...but they are not invincible.
