As a corrupt shipyard boss struggles to force the feisty nun who banned him from church to relent so the mob will induct him, she tries to make him a better man until the mob is ready to kill her... and he is ready to die for her.Devout Catholic Girolamo Vizzini runs NYC's docks with an iron fist. Like his father before him, Giro is proud he's about to be accepted into the Cosca, the city's largest crime organization. Giro keeps a blind eye to the contraband that comes into port, and the Cosca boys help him control his workers. But when a worker disappears and Giro is suspected, Teresa, the feisty young nun who runs the orphanage, bans Giro from church. The scandal makes the Cosca nervous. They postpone his initiation until he can convince Teresa to let him back in.Thinking Teresa would owe him a huge favor, Giro rubs out Vince, the Cosca recruiter who's been poaching Teresa's orphans. To Giro's consternation, the crazy, ungrateful nun is horrified. She isn't like anyone he knows. She can't be swayed by a gun to the jugular or a wad of cash for church repairs. Things go from bad to worse when Giro's bride is murdered on their wedding day. Now with the truth of Teresa's message sinking in, Giro sets out to make himself a better man by cleansing the docks of corruption, the consequences of which would not only ruin Teresa's reputation, but threaten her life as well as his.Can he save her and have a shot at ultimate redemption?
