Follows the American Mafia from their early development in New York City neighborhoods through Prohibition, to the boom days of the 1950's.

Rise of The New Dons focuses on the deadly conflict between the Families' old guard and a new generation of younger, American-born, mobsters.

The Last Don shows how a decidedly new, more aggressive commitment by law enforcement to "eradicate" the mafia forces the families to find creative ways to stay in business and out of jail.
