In the sun-scorched earth of 1950s Sicily, Salvatore "Sal" Drago, a ruthlessly ambitious soldier, carves a bloody path through the decaying Vizzini crime family. Dubbed "The Corleone Reaper," his ascent is marked by calculated betrayals and savage violence, shattering old codes as he builds a new criminal empire founded on the lucrative heroin trade. From the back alleys of Palermo to the boardrooms of international finance, Drago's iron hand extends, crushing rivals and forging uneasy alliances with mainland Camorra and Corsican syndicates.

But as his global web of narcotics, money, and terror expands, so too does the list of his enemies. A relentless Carabinieri captain, a methodical Italian magistrate, and a powerful US federal task force begin to close in, threatening his reign as the "Caesar of Heroin." Hunted across continents, Sal Drago must unleash his most desperate gambits to survive, proving that even a cornered serpent possesses the deadliest venom in this hardcore historical thriller of ambition and retribution.
