Giancarlo Lo Manto, an
East Bronx-raised Italian American, returns with his widowed mother to
Naples at the age of fifteen. Giancarlo grows up to become an educated yet street-wise cop within the poverty and crime-ridden southern Italian city. His ongoing battle with the city's
organized crime families has him in constant contact with his native New York City. Then one day, his young
niece, who is on an exchange trip to
the city that never sleeps, goes missing resulting in Giancarlo's canceling his holiday to Italy's Isle of
Capri in exchange for America's Island of
Manhattan to search for her. == Reception ==
