The Sopranos meets Lucifer in the supernatural horror crime drama, Godfather of Hell, where friends are close, enemies are closer, and revenge is a dish best served cold - or hot as Hell. He gives new meaning to underworld... Dario Santini has lived a charmed life as an enforcer and debt collector for mob boss Niccolò Menchini. He's had it all: respect, power, even the love of a good woman. But everything changes when he crosses a line and is shot dead on the sidewalk.
Waking up in Hell, Dario faces a future of pain and suffering... unless he can turn eternal damnation into a business opportunity. The Devil is in the details, and Dario's dealing a dangerous hand when it comes to gambling with the biggest guy in the down below: Satan himself. It's a high-stakes game that he can't afford to lose. Lose the play, lose your soul. Can this sinner become a winner?
Just remember: It's not personal - it's strictly business. Mostly.
