Michael Pellegrino changed his long established name to Pell years ago after arriving in New York from Italy. No one, not even his son, Charlie, born in the U.S., could put a finger on his reason, but there was that rumor... Michael Pellegrino came from humble beginnings from Italy to America-the son of immigrant parents leaving everything behind, including family, sought the American dream in the early 1900s. Michael, married, Regina and together far exceeded his parents' expectations building for himself and his family a powerful and lucrative criminal empire becoming one of the most powerful men in America. Michael and Regina had one son, Charlie. After a tragic accident, Charlie becomes the new generation for the family business...The Take Over. Charlie fell in love with his childhood sweetheart, Elaine, and set out on a special mission in Italy to settle a long overdue score-revenge his parents death. Although generations apart, they discovered they were cousins. It was then that they married, a common practice in Europe. The score settled, Charlie and Elaine return to take over the family empire built on crime, power, money, murder and deception.
