Tony leads an unwanted life as a modern New York mobster within one of the most successful Italian crime families in the United States. His past resonates with loss, not just of his parents but also of the potential for a life outside the criminal world, burdened by the demands of his greedy, disorganized underboss uncles, Eli Gengottie and Jim Gengottie, and their schemes.\n\nTony's life takes an unexpected turn when Eli orders Tony on a standard shakeup, unknowingly making Tony a pawn in Eli's plan to seize control of the family business, an ambition Eli longed for since Tony's grandfather's death. It is when this job goes awry that Tony has a chance encounter with Connor O’Riley, son of a rival Irish family leader, and sets off a chain of events that lead them on a perilous journey of survival, self-discovery, and unlikely friendship. As the story unfolds, it evolves beyond the conventions of a traditional mafia narrative, delving into themes of growth, redemption, and the complexity of human relationships.\n\nTony is then thrown right in the middle of a complex family relationship he wants nothing to do with, and finds himself in a position to run or help while dealing with a snotty kid he'd rather abandon.\n\nThroughout the journey together, both Connor and Tony, meet a handful of surprising unconventional characters that either want to assist, betray them, become love interests, and push their tests of will that drive both characters to evaluate their life perspectives.\n\nWill Tony and Connor survive this journey together?\n\nCan they repair the relationship between their families?\n\nWhat dark family secrets will they uncover?\n\nHow will this challenge shape their lives?\n\nA Gangster's Promise was written entirely by myself.
