Synopsis

Giancarlo Lo Manto, an East Bronx-raised Italian American, returns with his widowed mother to Naples at the age of fifteen. Giancarlo grows up to become an educated yet street-wise cop within the poverty and crime-ridden southern Italian city. His ongoing battle with the city's organized crime families has him in constant contact with his native New York City. Then one day, his young niece, who is on an exchange trip to the city that never sleeps, goes missing resulting in Giancarlo's canceling his holiday to Italy's Isle of Capri in exchange for America's Island of Manhattan to search for her.

gollark: I've made a v1.7 which drops the fudging behavior *but* still might be inaccurate. You may need to uninstall any previous versions, I'm not entirely sure.IMPORTANT NOTES: always manually check the time of death after using it - it should only take a minute or so to do that since it tells you roughly when it is (should be accurate to within 15 seconds at least); it may be against the rules (*hopefully* not? They're very vague); only tested in Firefox, might work in Chrome.
gollark: It never came up much in testing since my computer's clock is probably more accurate than the average Windows-y configuration.
gollark: There *might* be a way to get it to be synced to some other time source, I'll have to see.
gollark: That was always the intended design.
