DON LEAR

New York is burning. Don Lear sits at the head of the table overlooking Manhattan, an empire of crime and sin. But Lear is old and nearing death. His three daughters, Cordelia, Regan and Goneril each want a slice of the profits for themselves, with their questionably loyal husbands stood eagerly by their sides

Meanwhile, Lear’s loyal mafioso, Gloucester, finds himself betrayed and hunted by both sides in the upcoming war. Edmund, his bastard son, has sold his own twin brother out to the upstart militia, and then went on to stab his own father in the back

Change is coming t
o New York. When Lear dies, something will have to rise up to replace him. The only question is, who, or what, will be the first to secure their claim?
