07. Old Growth

Flashbacks from the 80's and 90's show Mac's rise in the drug business. He too began with a group of his friends, aiming to get money for his sick mother's treatments, but after an ambush from a rival gang that owns all of New Jersey called the Pagano's, all of Mac's friends were killed. After, the Pagano gang made Mac their slave in the drug business for years, draining Mac's money. Mac eventually earned their trust and was left in charge of Newark, but by then his mother had already passed. It is revealed finally that his only goal is to kill the leader of the Pagano's, Sal Pagano, for taking his life away.
