β¦ Synopsis
OmertΓ , the Sicilian code of silence, has been the cornerstone of the
Mafia's code of honour for centuries. Born in the beautiful Sicilian
hills, OmertΓ carried the Mafia through a century of change, but at the
close of a tempestuous century it is becoming a relic from a bygone age.
Honour may be silent - but money talks.
In New York a mob boss
is assassinated and no one will talk. His nephew and the head of the
city's FBI each launch investigations into the murder. But silence

crooked bankers; even the silence of the courts. However, the world of
the Mafiosi is one without integrity, and one riven with greed. And when
money starts to talk...
