In the 1930s, Connecticut became a region where Mafia families like the Genoveses, Gambinos, Colombos, and Patriarcas shared turf—working together with enough profits to go around or descending into open war to rival that experienced in any major city. Central to this conflict were three men who were, at different times, cautious allies or sworn nemeses.

Sometimes, Aries thought he was the only one who could hear them. While Aries peacefully governs the Fifth Circle of the Underworld, other forces are at play in Hell.
