Connected.

Raised in the Bronx, Eddie Ferrara has his first encounter with organized crime as a teenager and it eventually leads to the death of one of his closest friends. The events that follow rapidly lead him into 'the life'. Eddie's story spans twenty years and takes us from a mob 'social club' to a Silicon Valley startup, from the Brooklyn waterfront piers to a bordello in the Bronx, and from Lincoln Center to the neighborhood coffee shops and restaurants of New York City.

Lately Eddie has entertained the notion of marriage and of leaving 'the life', only to realize he is a victim of his own success. Although he is not a fully made member of the family, odds are his leaving would be handled as if he were, that is he'd be 'retired' with two bullets to the back of his head. Eddie uses guile and intelligence to outclass his rivals, but will he risk everything in an attempt to get out alive, or is he destined to remain...connected.
