After a hold-up gone wrong, Slick finds himself deep in the red with local mafia boss Rex. But that's not the only thing setting them at odds: they also have their sights set on the same woman, the beguiling Caprice. She's engaged to Rex and headlines his club, where she thrills the nightly crowds. She's off-limits, but Slick has never been one for limits. And he has unfinished business with Caprice, who was once his own sweetheart before the war pulled them apart. After all these years, there's no love lost between them, but that doesn't mean the old spark isn't alive... And now, they're playing with fire. Taking inspiration from the Hollywood noir films of the 1950s, Enrico Marini delivers a gritty graphic novel combining crime, love, jealousy, and betrayal.

Things aren't getting any easier for Slick. After falling out of favor with local mob boss Rex, he finds himself thrust into a turf war with the Sicilian mafia. He's tasked with stealing a prized and priceless portrait belonging to the capo himself, and when things go south, he finds himself with a bigger target on his back than ever. If he's going to make it through in one piece, Slick will have to think fast and hit hard—and keep a close eye on Caprice, as well as mob daughter Pearl, two femmes fatales who prove to be just as dangerous as any of the other gun-toting gangsters. The gripping conclusion to Marini's noir opus.
