Josiah storms through a portal with terrifying powers and a hunger for control, setting his sights on New York's underworld. He'll need allies-and finds them in our society's outcasts. Lucius, an impulsive mafia screw-up, is forced to contend with responsibilities he never wanted. Antonia, his fiercely protective sister, stands at the center of it all. What follows is a comedic war where every twist redefines loyalty, violence is interspersed with unexpected laughs, and no one walks away unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet in modern-day NYC, the story balances brutal violence with razor-sharp comedy, delivering one unpredictable twist after another.
