CUTTHROAT Power doesn't collapse. It reorganizes. Paul Dellucci was trained to impose order. Raised in the shadow of a disgraced mob captain, forged by military precision, and hardened by systems that reward silence, Paul learned early that chaos isn't random-it's managed. Violence, when applied correctly, creates stability. Or so he believed. When a routine cocaine transaction detonates into a federal sting, Paul is handed an ultimatum with no clean exit: cooperate with the FBI or disappear into a prison system that doesn't forget men like him. To survive, he becomes what the Bureau needs most-an asset with access, memory, and a ledger of names powerful enough to dismantle New York's criminal infrastructure from the inside. But cooperation has a cost. As arrests turn into executions and intelligence becomes a weapon, Paul realizes the truth too late: crime syndicates, cartels, and federal agencies aren't opposing forces-they're parallel systems competing for control. Each demands loyalty. Each trades protection for obedience. And none intend to let him walk away. With thirty million dollars in untraceable cash and too many secrets to bury, Paul becomes the variable no one can afford to lose-and no one is willing to save. His family turns into leverage. His handlers become liabilities. And every name he speaks redraws the map of the city in blood. CUTTHROAT is a ruthless crime noir about power without morality, order without justice, and the machinery that decides who gets sacrificed to keep the system running. This is not a redemption story. It's a reckoning. And no one survives without cutting something loose.
