The Don's Bootlegged Bride

46 episodes

New York City, 1927. ROSALIE LEONE is a gifted young forger slinging drinks at a Lower East Side speakeasy while dreaming of marrying her fiancé, DESMOND D’ANGELO. Rosalie believes the money she earns forging passports and liquor permits is building their future. In reality, Desmond has been living off her talent... and when the city’s most powerful Mafia Don, DANTE ROMANO, offers him $500,000 to bring Rosalie to him as a willing bride, Desmond drugs her and sells her instead. Rosalie wakes in Dante’s lavish Park Avenue penthouse just in time to witness the ruthless Don execute a traitor. Terrified, she expects to be his next victim. Instead, Dante gently tends to her injured ankle and announces that they’re getting married. Rosalie refuses to believe Desmond sold her and escapes down the fire escape, determined to return to the man she loves. She finds Desmond naked in bed with her best friend, MARY, surrounded by the cash he received for selling her. Rosalie learns the devastating truth: Desmond and Mary have been lovers all along, using Rosalie’s forgery skills to finance their own future. When Rosalie fights back, Desmond decides to keep Dante’s money and eliminate the evidence. He takes Rosalie to the Brooklyn Bridge and throws her into the East River. But Dante comes for her. In front of his stunned men, the famously coldhearted Don dives off the Brooklyn Bridge and plunges into the East River after her.
