When Portia Jean Adler agreed to help her business partner pay off a
gambling debt, she found herself caught in the middle of a mob war, an
FBI-instigated mob shakedown, and a re-ignited romance.
Portia’s best friend and business partner, George Reid, was
negotiating for his life when he was unable to pay a huge gambling debt
to Mafia Boss Don Carlo Vito, known as the ‘Big Cannoli’ on the East
Coast. He got the reprieve he wanted but on the condition that he and
Portia cater the wedding of Don Carlo’s daughter – gratis! George knew
that this would not sit well with Portia given that their business has
yet to earn a profit.
Being a huge fan of mafia movies, Portia knew how the mob works and
feared for George’s life. She agreed to the deal just to get George off
the hook. It was supposed to be a quick ‘get out of trouble’ gig, but
when Portia unwittingly agreed to cook for a Mafia Family sit-down
(meeting) weeks prior to the wedding, she witnessed a bloodbath that
consequently fueled an unfortunate chain of events that got her up close
and personal with the mob and reunited her with her ex, Ben Marteli.
This got the attention of the FBI, marking her as a person of interest
and a possible witness against the mob.
Portia was trapped between a rock and a hard place and her only way
out is to take sides – but either side has its unfavorable consequence
that could cost her her life.
