3o years ago, DAN and NICOLE GUNNAR struggled to have a child of their own. Through modern medicine, they were able to have their miracle baby, only to lose him in a senseless mob bombing caused by a mafia soldier named GINO SCARPELLI.

Dan and Nicole soon discover that Gino, now a godfather in the Scarpelli crime family, killed their son. In retaliation, they kidnap Gino’s newborn baby boy and raise him as their own.

Whether it was coincidence or fate, Gino meets up with Max and makes a startling discovery that he’s in the presence of his stolen first born son. Gino makes it his number one priority to learn more about Max even to the point where he ignores his other son Anthony and the impending problems that the Scarpelli family is facing.
