The main character Karen DiCillia is the widow of Italian crime boss Frank DiCillia. She is a very young and good looking woman for a 43 year old widow, but she feels restrained because her deceased husband wrote in his will that she isn’t allowed to have romantic/sexual relations with any man after he has passed on. She is a smooth talker and stays calm in harsh situations but is angry that she has so many shady characters attempting to control her life in her husband’s place.
