## Plot

In 1938, Thomas "Tommy" Angelo meets a police detective named John Norman in a coffee shop. He explains he cannot be on the run from the mob with a wife and children and seeks protection. Through flashback, Tommy explains what led to this to prove his story is true.

In 1930, Tommy was a taxi driver struggling to survive the Great Depression. He was strong-armed by two members of the Salieri crime family—Paulie Lombardo and Sam Trapani—into helping them escape an ambush by the rival Morello family. Tommy is compensated for his help and offered a position in Don Ennio Salieri's organization, which Tommy declines. However, a typical workday of cruising for fares turns violent when Morello's men smash up Tommy's cab out of revenge for aiding their enemies. They attempt to assault Tommy as well, but he flees to safety at Salieri's bar. Losing his job for the ruined cab, Tommy reconsiders Salieri's offer. Tommy begins to assist with running Salieri's rackets across Lost Heaven, overseen by his *consigliere* Frank Colletti, and befriends Paulie and Sam while earning Salieri's respect for thwarting Don Marcu Morello's attempts to take over his businesses.

In 1932, Tommy, now a made man in the Salieri family, becomes friends with Luigi Marino, Salieri's bartender. Tommy escorts Luigi's daughter Sarah to her home, but has to fend off street hoodlums. On Salieri's orders, Tommy and Paulie retaliate against the gang, but learn that their leader, whom Paulie killed, was the son of corrupt city councillor Roberto Ghillotti, who vows revenge. Later, Tommy is ordered to destroy a brothel for switching its loyalties to Morello, and kill an informant named Michelle who is working there, but ends up sparing her at Sam's request and covering up his actions.

In 1933, Morello ramps up his efforts to dismantle Salieri's organization, gaining support from the corrupt police force and Ghillotti. Following an ambush on a bootlegging operation, Salieri finds that Frank has disappeared with the family's account books, and reluctantly orders Tommy to kill him. Discovering Frank has become disillusioned with the criminal lifestyle and made a deal with the FBI after Morello threatened his family, Tommy allows him to flee the country with his family in exchange for the books. Tommy believes Frank's disappearance is sufficient for Salieri to buy that Frank died.

In 1935, the Salieri and Morello families begin moving out into new rackets following the end of prohibition, while Tommy, promoted to *caporegime* for his successes, marries Sarah and starts a family with her. Learning that Salieri is making moves to gain control over law enforcement, Morello attempts to have him killed. After Tommy saves him, Salieri declares open war on his rival. Tommy is ordered to assassinate two key figures, Morello's brother Sergio and Councilman Ghilloti, to weaken Morello's hold over the dock union and city politics, respectively. The war eventually comes to an end after Tommy, Paulie, and Sam kill Morello himself as he attempts to flee Lost Heaven.

By 1938, the Salieri family is in full control of Lost Heaven's rackets and ruthlessly eliminating anyone who opposes them. Tommy is ordered to assassinate a retired U.S. Senator who has come out of politics to replace Ghilloiti and eradicate gangsterism. Tommy does so, but inadvertently upsets Sarah, who eulogizes the senator for spearheading the 19th Amendment. When Tommy, Paulie, and Sam agree to recover a stash of diamonds hidden amongst a shipment of impounded cigars, they are shocked to discover heroin instead. Enraged at Salieri lying to them about the cargo's true nature and becoming involved in the drug trade despite telling them to never do so, Tommy and Paulie decide to carry out a bank heist that will allow them to retire, without cutting Salieri in. Although the job is a success, Tommy finds Paulie dead in his apartment the following day and the stolen money missing. When he meets with Sam to discuss the matter, he learns that Salieri ordered him to kill Tommy and Paulie for going behind his back, and that Frank and Michelle were murdered by Salieri's men after Tommy's past cover-ups were exposed. Tommy survives Sam's ambush and confronts him. Sam appeals to Tommy's humanity, saying he remembers what he did for Michelle and will repay him by covering up Tommy's death when in actuality he can flee, but Tommy answers that with a gunshot, mortally wounding Sam.

After relaying his story to him, Tommy offers to testify against the Salieri family in exchange for a reduced prison sentence and protection for his family. Norman agrees, being a family man himself, and the resulting investigation and mob trials lead to most of the Salieri family, including Don Salieri, being convicted and sentenced. After serving eight years in prison, Tommy is reunited with his family as they are all placed under witness protection and relocated to Empire Bay. Tommy lives a peaceful life with his family until 1951, when two hitmen approach him. Accepting his fate and knowing that his criminal past has caught up to him, Tommy is shot and left to die on his front lawn. He succumbs to his wounds surrounded by his family, content that they are safe now. The game ends with a flashback to an aged Tommy and Sarah seeing their daughter married and Tommy giving a speech about the importance of family; concluding that while everything else comes and goes, family is forever.
