Organized Crime Bureau (OCB) undercover operative, Vincent Terranova returns to his mafia roots by exploiting his reputation as Sonny Steelgrave's right-hand man to finish the job he began: bringing down la familia. But it isn't long before he is inadvertently drawn into a war between his stepfather, Don Aiuppo and heir apparent, Albert Cerrico. Terranova's problems go from bad to worse when after upon learning that he is the target of retribution by factions within the U.S. government who are seeking revenge for his involvement in exposing an illegal operation.
A conspiracy involving counterfeit Yen and the attempt to cause severe distribution in the Japanese economy is attributed to him. He suddenly finds himself battling power brokers who make people like Steelgrave and Mel Profitt seem insignificant by comparison. Vinnie's principles are shattered as he is becomes embroiled in the struggle for his very life and career. His world is on the verge of collapse and the only person he can turn to is his OCB field director, Frank McPike, who will go to hell and back to help an innocent man.
