Synopsis
The origin story of Winston, the mastermind and manager of The Continental
The Continental is an iconic safe house for assassins run by the enigmatic hotel manager, Winston; but in the 1970s it was just an idea in the head of a young man. As the garbage piles high on the streets and the influence of the Mafia grows, New York City turns into a grimy underworld. Where there is frustration and disillusionment, there is also opportunity. Winston and his associates acquired the Continental under mysterious circumstances. Their role in setting up a network of lethal international assassins and their relationship with The High Table, a powerful criminal council of members, is all set to be uncovered. The history of The Continental tells a story of high-stakes criminal activity and the man guarding all those secrets is at the center of this story.
