Setting the Scene... Vegas Bright Lights Big City!

The city of Las Vegas, having grown into it's own back in the wild west days, has not shrunk, as have many of the old ghost towns of the past. No, it has grown, into a venerable den of demons, gifted with the opportunity to spread havoc upon the innocents who believe in the old saying, of what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Beneath the bright lights, and velour, Vegas offers something darker. The den of lions waiting to pounce upon the prey. Gangsters, easily finding pockets, to reach greedily into, while the pimps keep the streets running smoothly. Certainly, one would not have a place promising sin, unless it could provide things to help the sinner. Dealers upon every corner, within every shadow, beckoning any and all to partake of the goods. Gamblers, glued to the one armed bandits, praying for the sound of the sirens, and begging for the last dollar to earn them the fortune they so foolishly wasted away.

Then there are those who are behind the dealers and pimps. Those that fund such ventures of crack shot slot machines, and drug trafficking. These financial backers, are the reason the sin city, runs so smoothly. As well as the late night visits by the police to the docks, to keep mouths shut about the underworld of Vegas. Two families, who have run these streets for years, have been at war for as long as the lights have been shining. War will never die, as long as two of this blood survive. De Lucca, and Giovanni have been at odds, for well over seventy years now. Though it was not until recent events that the families went to war.

Relying upon those working with the separate families, they continue to be certain that the streets are running smoothly and filtering cash into the hands of themselves, and the workers who help them. Loyalties are running short, and leaving people questioning the ones they once called friend. Blood was staining the ground more often then the rain. It was a time for those to choose sides, and keep betrayal under wraps, for if found, they would be treated as if they never existed.

Once led separately by half brothers. Donte Giovanni, and Santino De Lucca. Mothered by the same woman, who was involved with the head of both houses. With her death, many uttered that one of the brothers had to have done it. Leaving behind the bloody and distorted remains of the woman who bore and raised them. To save both brothers, the youngest of them, Rocco Giovanni, claimed the crime, and had been behind bars for five years. No proof other than his confession had come forth. Until now..

Donte and Tino had put aside differences, realizing that neither had committed the heinous act upon the woman they called mother. Understanding that the hatred in the past was not worth the pain they suffered. Enjoying the company of women, and each other, they moved about now, controlling the streets and watching as Rocco slowly became the mastermind behind the two. Though as case of Adrianna was being cracked open, new things began to surface..

It came to light, that the Fathers were the ones behind the brutal assault leaving Adrianna distorted in death. Rocco calling for the investigation into the crime. Ravish Vladimirescu was the CSI mind behind the hidden investigation, which caused Santino De Lucca to come to his home, called by the man, to bare witness to the evidence proving the elder De Lucca, and Giovanni to be guilty, of not only the murder of their mother, but also hits that had been placed upon their head.

The evening ending in tragedy with the middle brother seemingly dead, and Ravish wounded and in the hospital, the evidence fell into the hands of the lovely Irish. Slowly the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together, some had been forced by those longing to frame the brothers. Blood against blood in an age old battle for power. It is a time to test the family ties, and realize a new age has come to Vegas. New hands hold the reigns.

The fathers now worked together, to help taint the youngest brother. Easing him into power while Tino remained in hiding, as well Donte plotting his own pretense at death. Though a shocking night led to an attempted murder on Irish by the very man she thought to love her. Rocco held the knife above her chest in a battle of her life, luckily found out by Scarlet. Leading the two older brothers to the scene in time to save Irish. Tino took matters into his own hands, ridding the world of one Giovanni. Rocco was shot through the head, and the body dissapeared.

Sometimes blood has to run to better the family. Now narrowing the playing field to the two fathers, and the sons. Age can sometimes give the brain more power. Now it has come time for the son's to face off with the fathers, all the while waging a war with the Irish who have stepped up the antics to take over turf that doesn't belong to them. Let the battles begin...

This is a time of betrayal, a time of deceit, a time for the angels to flee, and the demons reign. For some this is Heaven, for others it is Hell. Tell me, what's your poison?
