A dark, ambitious crime drama that transposes Shakespearean tragedy into the modern mob underworld, exploring ambition's corrupting cost through violence and supernatural inevitability.

In this modern day version of Shakespeare's Macbeth, a hitman heeds a spiritualist's prophesies that he will rise to the head of his family. He starts his ascension by clandestinely executing the heads of the family and casting the blame on others. However, with power comes consequences that are also predicted by the seer.
