Event Year: 2016

Avilio and Nero shake off the Orco family's assassin and continue to lie low, until Nero's regular call to Barbero reveals a new development in the conflict: Orco wants peace with the Vanetti family. Still, Barbero suggests that it might not be best for Nero to return to Lawless immediately, and tells Nero and Avilio to meet him at "the Lodge" in two days.

After the incident with Vanno and Serpente, a war between the Vanetti and Orco families is all but guaranteed. Nero goes on the run with Avilio, where the two learn a great deal about each other's personality and past. But a huge man and his hunting dog are pursuing them.

Avilio has taken the first step towards his revenge. But Serpente's body, which he needs to provide his cover story, has disappeared, casting suspicion on Avilio. Nero orders him to bring back Serpente's body at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Fango is also looking for Serpente. Exactly what did happen in those missing hours?
