Frank Costanzo, the head of a high-profile London luxury motor dealership, becomes the victim of New Jersey mobster, Angelo da Vinci. Ensnared in a honey trap, Frank falls deeply in love with Jacqueline, a young French woman almost half his age. But just as their unconventional romance begins to flourish, an accidental slip in the bathroom takes his life. His son, Gino, who had always respected the unspoken boundaries between them, steps into his father's shoes—and unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a passionate love affair of his own. Angelo's business in Newark is being squeezed by a local mob, the Paneladros. His own indiscretions do not help. His wife's religious confession conducted in a priest's own private residence further add to his troubles. The constant draining from Angelo's cash registers drives him to despair. He thinks of alternative means of riches lying across the Atlantic away from the prying eyes of the local hoodlums. Based on hot intelligence hacked out of Rome and supplied by Giacomo, he sets on an action plan to acquire ownership of a London Car Dealership. By deceit, and force if need be. He assigns his four star general and faithful henchman - Johnny '4 Fingers' Bristow - to carry out the complex task. Using a French high-fashion model and a brand new car, Angelo lures this old retired but slowly fading English playboy gentleman now living in Modena and driving a Maserati. The predator: Jaqueline du Bois. The prey: Frank Costanzo. The car: a Bugatti. The extensive intelligence supplied by Giacomo however, missed one very important detail about Frank. Born in Sicily, Frank still maintained a strong Sicilian relationship. A Sicilian SWAT Team , indeed a Sicilian SEAL Unit . The fire power: the Sicilian shotgun ... the Lupara, a jerry can, a box of matches. The subterfuge honey pot proves too sweet for both the predator and its trapped victim. A retaliatory stratagem is masterminded. Romance, Destruction, Revenge, Renunciation of Priesthood Vows, Remorse followed yet by further Romance, unfolds. Most of this drama takes place in Italy ... where else could one exploit the depths of culture, immerse oneself in colourful characters, and feel a part in tough and romantic one-on-one conversations that would keep you captivated, entertained, and at times laughing heartily.
