Citizen Gangster

In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, “Citizen Gangster” dives into the tumultuous life of Max Dante, an ordinary man caught in the extraordinary world of organized crime. Struggling to make ends meet as an underappreciated community college professor, Max finds himself drowning in debt and personal turmoil, with a failing marriage and a distant relationship with his teenage daughter, Lily.

When Max inadvertently crosses paths with a charismatic but ruthless mob leader, Vincent “Viper” Moretti, he is drawn into a web of crime and deceit. Initially seeking a quick solution to his financial woes, Max soon discovers that the gangster lifestyle is not just about money—it’s a dangerous game where alliances shift with the tide and loyalty is as fleeting as a gunshot. What starts as a seemingly innocent attempt to pay off his debt spirals into a complex entanglement, forcing Max to balance his newfound double life.

As Max clandestinely climbs the ranks, aided by his sharp intellect and unexpected knack for strategy, he becomes an unintentional player in the power struggle between Viper and rival factions. Alongside him, the tough yet compassionate Detective Sarah Chen is investigating the very crimes that he unwittingly aids. Unbeknownst to Max, Sarah has her own ghosts to contend with, having lost her brother to gang violence years earlier.
