Joey Panella is the son of Brooklyn's most feared loan shark -- a small time Mafioso -- but that's not what Joey wants to remain. He doesn't want to be a wise guy. He's tired of beating people up for a living. He doesn't want to be a thief or a murderer. He doesn't want to get something for nothing.Joey Panella believes in the American Dream. He believes that hard work, guts, and imagination can turn a beggar into a billionaire. And he wants to be that billionaire.By selling cocaine.Even though the local mafiosos, and his father, believe that selling drugs is beneath them. Even though he'll have to go up against Harlem Kingpins, New York Cops, Drug Enforcement Agents...and the Colombian Drug Cartel.Even though it might cost him the only woman he loves.But Joey Panella knows that across the Lines of Fire is everything he wants...and it will cost him everything he has to get it.Every war has its heros and victims. On both sides.Even the Drug War.
