After spending seven years in hiding in the Midwest, Angelo receives a mysterious anonymous letter from his father's friend. This message reignites his desire for vengeance against the Vanetti family, particularly the Don, Vincent Vanetti, who controls the lawless district where illegally brewed liquor dominates the black market.
