About the title
Having received a life sentence in one of Israel's harshest prisons, Mickey Levy never thought he'd ever be a free man again. But after a change in the law, he's released after all and moves to New York, hoping for a fresh start. He lives with his uncle in Brooklyn, but the harsh reality of life as an ex-convict soon catches up with him, and he gets dragged into a brutal power struggle with the Russian mafia. Mickey is forced to draw on his dark past and the survival skills he picked up in prison. He rises rapidly through the criminal underworld, but his iron grip on power could be the death of him.
