Sicilian BLOODLINES run thick . . . Gino Ranno and the Miceli family share a friendship that has lasted generations, from the mountains of western Sicily in 1890 to today's New York landscape of the Hamptons and East Harlem. Lucho Gonzales, a drug dealer from Colombia with a penchant for sex and murder, has no friends-only the wild companionship of a few psychotic men who dare to do his dirty work, and a family too scared of his temper to do anything else. When Gino and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Lisa cross paths with Lucho, they unwittingly upset the balance of crime. The result: kidnapping, rape, and murder. The Colombians may be dangerous, but when it comes to family, the New York mob draws a line in the sand. Winner takes all.

The result is a head-on collision with two cultures that place blood vengeance above all forms of justice.

What happens when two, poor disadvantaged kids from the Bronx trade places for their senior semester of high school with two kids from affluent Ridgewood, NJ?

Do those from DeWitt-Clinton in the Bronx not let their ZIP CODE determine their destiny like their fellow student before them, Ralph Lauren, didn't? Which path will youth today follow? A realistic, life-view of the struggles teens face today; a cross between The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Prince and the Pauper.
