Romeo Is Bleeding

Jack Grimaldi, an NYPD homicide detective, appears to lead a perfect life with his beautiful wife, Natalie, and a teenage mistress named Sheri. However, beneath this facade lies a web of corruption as Jack engages in illicit dealings with Mafia kingpin Don Falcone to maintain his lavish lifestyle.

Jack is assigned to locate Nick Gazarra, a former mobster turned federal witness who has gone into hiding. This task puts him on a precarious path, as Gazarra's safety is paramount in the war against organized crime.

Tragedy strikes when Gazarra and his protective detail are murdered by the ruthless hitwoman Mona Demarkov. This shocking event forces Jack to confront the severe consequences of his involvement in the criminal underbelly.

After her violent crime spree, Mona is arrested, but this only intensifies Falcone's desire to eliminate her as a threat. Jack is caught between his duty to protect her and Falcone's ruthless demands.

Jack is tasked with ensuring Mona's safe transport to a secure location for her to testify. However, upon arrival, Mona ensnares Jack into a deadly game, seducing him before attempting to kill him.

Just as Jack is about to become another victim of Mona's treachery, law enforcement intervenes, taking her into custody. This moment serves as a critical turning point in Jack's tumultuous life.

In retaliation for Jack's failure, Falcone brutally punishes him by inflicting physical harm. Jack realizes he cannot escape the clutches of the mob, and the stakes of his double life have never been higher.

Jack makes the painful decision to send Natalie away to protect her from the dangers surrounding him. He provides her with money and instructions, all while ending his affair with Sheri to shield her too.

In a twist of fate, Mona approaches Jack with a dangerous proposal: assist her in faking her death for a large sum of money. This shocking offer puts Jack in a moral quandary as he grapples with loyalty and survival.

Jack finds himself in a life-or-death situation as Mona escapes, leading to a high-speed car chase that ends in a catastrophic collision. This chaotic burst of action leaves Jack reeling from the chaos of his life.

Mona continues her manipulations, framing Sheri for a crime, which results in severe repercussions for Jack's mistress. The domino effect of betrayal stretches far, sealing the fates of those around them.

In a moment of shocking betrayal, Mona cooperates with the police and implicates Jack, leading to a courtroom drama filled with tension. With his world unraveling, Jack faces the painful consequences of his past decisions.

Feeling cornered by the impending law enforcement closure, Jack draws his gun only to find it empty, highlighting his helplessness. This moment amplifies his sense of defeat as he confronts the realities of his situation.

Eventually, Jack is offered a second chance under the alias 'Jim Daugherty' which could allow him to start anew in the American West. As he contemplates this opportunity, Jack is haunted by memories of those he lost.

Every May 1st and December 1st serves as a painful reminder of the love he once shared with Natalie. Jack's scrapbook of memories represents both his love and the weight of loss, fueling his longing for reconciliation.
