1947. Empire Bay, a city of flickering neon and rain-drenched asphalt where the docks are governed by blood and silence. Vito Scaletta, calloused by a childhood of poverty and the trauma of war, stepped into the warmth of Joe's apartment, the metallic tang of a botched job still clinging to his skin.

Joe had always described his sister as a fragile thing, someone to be shielded from the world.

In a single glance, Vito's perception of her shattered completely.
