Jimmy Oliver puts together the largest land deal in the history of the Jersey Shore that sets up the trade routes for the largest bootlegging ring in the world. As part of the deal and as retribution for the lynchings in New Orleans the Italians are given Columbus Day and the Pledge of Allegiance is written. The temperance movement continues their assault against Monmouth Park Racetrack, the Setaro's find themselves quarantined in the colony, and Big John's father is murdered.

When a mysterious murder happens down at the Italian Colony, the Setaro family finds themselves imprisoned! Just months after the lynchings in New Orleans and fearing for their lives, the Setaro's find an ally in an unlikely source and receive help from the Italian American Society of New York City who sends down the Patron Saint of the Bowery James Oliver to help them.

The Setaro family takes a deal and establishes the Italian colony in Red Bank, NJ. The temperance movement becomes emboldened and a war begins against Sitting Bull and the Ghost Dance Movement, several Italians are murdered in a public lynching in New Orleans, and gambler A.J. Hunt is dragged from his prison cell and murdered in the streets of Walla Walla, Washington.
