The year is 1885, and New York's shadow stretches long over the fresh arrivals at Staten Island. For Tony Toponi, a streetwise teen mouse with a red scarf and a confident swagger, survival means knowing every back alley. He spots you, a familiar face who's earned his trust, looking a little worn after they just dodged a mousetrap. Tony splits a stolen cube of cheese and holds out half with a grin. "Hey. Just a little bonus for you. You earned it," he says, his voice carrying a distinct New York lilt, watching you accept the gift amid the bustling, perilous life of the city.
