This will include a discussion about Castellano's $4 million "White House" mansion on the top of the hill in Staten Island, New York, that became his safe haven.
This biography also examines Castellano's uncanny romantic affair with his Columbian household maid that became and obsession that resulted in disrespecting his devoted wife and drawing the displeasure of many, even among his most devoted capos.
Along the way of exploring Castellano's life, we will meet other mobsters such as Aniello Dellacroce, Frank DeCicco, Salvatore Gravano, Roy DeMeo, John Gotti, and many others. We will also meet with Angelo "Quack Quack" Ruggiero who talked behind Castellano's back, ignored his ban on narcotics trafficking, and whose big mouth was the initial catalyst that eventually led to the RICO Act indictment of all five New York Mafia family bosses resulting in the infamous Commission Trial.
After following Castellano through his life, we will then watch the bold and spectacular hit go down with all the details, watching his collapse into the gutter on a New York street so very far away from the safety of his mansion on top of the world.
