Synopsis

Penguin and Sofia Falcone clash for control of Gotham following death of Carmine Falcone

In the wake of crime lord Carmine Falcone's death in Gotham City, a power vacuum emerges, leaving a void of leadership. Oswald Cobblepot, widely known as the Penguin and Falcone's trusted second-in-command, seems poised to take charge. However, Sofia Falcone, the late crime boss's daughter, presents a formidable opposition as she strives to establish her dominance in the city's criminal underworld. This clash sparks an escalating power struggle in Gotham, as different criminal factions vie to undermine Penguin and seize his newly acquired position of power.
