By Michael Sortino

GENRE: Crime, Drama
LOGLINE: A son tries to save his mafia-boss father from a destructive war by stealing his money and running to Africa to give it to the poor and AIDS-stricken there.

SYNOPSIS:

In the end, all that’s left is blood . . . This is not your typical mob story. This is a story about a father and a son, and the impending destruction of an entire family that may not be avoidable. This is about a son who loves his father enough to stand against him, and the aftermath of blood that follows . . . It’s The Departed meets The Godfather, a fast-paced, modern, punch-in-the-gut movie about loyalty and betrayal, and the lengths people will go to for power and money . . . even the people closest to you. Franco Romani can’t persuade his father to pull out of a mob war that threatens to destroy him. So, instead of depositing millions of dollars per his father’s instructions, he takes the money and travels into the heart of Africa where he plans to give it to an organization serving the AIDS-stricken and poor. Franco hopes his father will follow after him, but what follows is a tidal wave of consequences, retribution and bloodshed. It’s a violent domino effect as each member of the family is pulled in and spiral toward the thrilling, powerful conclusion. Love, honor, respect. A father demands these of his son. But a son has the right to be treated like a man, his own man. What does it take to change the heart of a man that’s hardened with pain and bitterness? One son will risk all to find out. But, will he lose it all in the final hour? In the end, all that’s left, all that matters is blood, family.
