Tonys grandfather, Pops Scala, tells them a horrific secret from the Scalamarri family past: twelve members of their family were massacred at the hands of Bugsy Siegel and his ruthless gang from Murder Inc. in 1935. Pops was the sole witness and lone survivor, and he was more than happy to pull the trigger and end Bugsys murderous life.

Now fifty years later, Pops convinces the Columbus Avenue Boys they must leave the underworld life for good.
