The Falcon and The Shaikhs
In 1965, Luigi Falconi, heir apparent to Fabio Falconi, the Capo Maggiore of the US Gulf Coast Mafia, is dispatched to Dubai, a desert trading center in the Middle East, to finalize a loan deal with the government. His journey unveils the potential to transform the shaikhdom into the next Havana or Las Vegas.
Torn between family loyalty and his dream to transform their business into a legitimate enterprise, Luigi reluctantly aligns himself with his Mafia family's agenda.
While living in Dubai, he becomes enthralled by the tribal values and cultural intricacies of the Trucial States' rulers and populace, trying to reconcile culture and tradition with the encroaching Western world.
Unknown to Luigi, his conniving godfather, Nic Nicandro, undermines him through illicit dealings in drugs and arms. Nic plots Luigi's demise to seize control of the Mafia's operations and control future oil profits in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah.
Luigi forms a confederacy of like-minded adventurers including an ex-British SAS officer, a former Green Beret, a school headmaster, a covert CIA agent, and other eccentric expatriates, who join forces with the real heroes, the Rulers of Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. Together they devise a plan to rid their Shaikhdoms of the dark side of the Mafia.
