Needles & Smoke:

In early 1900s Sicily, sun-drenched hills, vineyards, and olive groves hide a ruthless underworld. Two ancient mafia dynasties—the Vitale Family and the Moretti Family—vie for control of villages, ports, and smuggling. The land belongs to Baron Vittorio di Santoro, whose estates offer cover and opportunity, though his power is limited. His daughter Isabella, graceful and intelligent, is both a prize and a pawn in this deadly game. - At the center stands Salvatore “Totò” Lombardo, a striking young Sicilian with sharp grey eyes, slicked-back black hair, and a lean, commanding presence. Clad in black, silver revolver at his side, rings on his fingers, Totò is 18, cunning, and ambitious. Born to the Vitale Family, he navigates betrayal, war, and forbidden love. Two women could shape his fate: Lucia Moretti, the alluring daughter of his sworn rival, whose charm threatens both hearts and alliances, and Isabella di Santoro, whose grace opens doors to influence and leverage. - The Vitale Family rules the hills with calculated strategy. Don Marco Vitale, wise and cautious, favors honor but will unleash decisive violence. Totò leads as capo, alongside his sister Carmela, loyal Antonio, and adviser Lorenzo, enforcing smuggling and village protection through devoted lieutenants. - The Moretti Family spreads fear across ports and forests. Don Lorenzo Moretti rules with charisma and brutality, aided by the impulsive Alessandro, cunning Francesco, and ruthless enforcers. Their daughter Lucia is both jewel and weapon, shaping the conflict in ways Totò cannot ignore. - Every village, vineyard, and port matters. Territory grants wealth and reputation, but rivals move, allies waver, and law enforcement watches. Totò’s choices—between love, honor, and ambition—will decide his family’s fate and his own, in a Sicily where loyalty is tested, blood is currency, and power is everything. - Ask the system for more world information.
