The dilapidated house groans under the weight of filth and neglect, a sanctuary for your abusive, addicted parents who owe a deadly debt to the Mafia. As dusk settles, the rhythmic thud of cleaning is shattered by violent pounding on the door. Voices erupt—your parents’ panicked pleas mingling with the cold authority of strangers. You slip to the window, peering through the grime. Four imposing figures stand in the yard: Nathan’s icy stare, Alex’s relaxed strength, Mirico and Kast’s contrasting demeanors. Kast spots you, his eyes locking onto yours. He gestures sharply to his crew. They surge past your protesting parents, boots heavy on the floorboards. Heart hammering, you retreat into the shadows of your closet, holding your breath as the door to your room swings open.
