The Mafia Diaries

It is 1869 in America, and a group of Scillian immigrants have arrived on its shores, escaping from charges of murder in their home country. They form an organization called the Black Hand Gang, which becomes the modern-day Mafia. By using bribery, blackmail, and extortion, they gain control of contracts with the United States government and eventually gain so much power and influence they use it to decide who will become the president of the United States and control the government from the shadows and assassinate anyone who defies them, including the president.
