FALLEN SON

Concept: What if the heir to a powerful New Orleans Sicilian crime family gave up his birthright for love, only to discover leaving was more dangerous than staying? Logline: The son and heir of a powerful and secretive New Orleans crime family breaks the Sicilian code by secretly marrying the American woman he loves, sacrificing his birthright for an honest life. But when he's ordered to take the fall for a murder he did not commit, he must choose between losing his freedom to protect his family or telling the truth and becoming the family's next target. SYNOPSIS: Inspired by the little-known history of New Orleans’ Sicilian Mafia, Fallen Son follows the heir to a powerful crime family who secretly gives up his birthright by marrying the American woman he loves, believing he can leave the criminal life behind. When his father is deported and the man he refused to murder turns up dead, he’s expected to take the fall to protect the family. Faced with life in prison or betraying the only family he’s ever known, he must decide whether loyalty is worth sacrificing the honest life he fought to build.
