Ambition, betrayal, and scandal run wild as a mobster's godson plots his rise through the underworld's flesh trade.
THE GODSON
The Picture Everyone's Been Waiting For... Except the Syndicate!
An ambitious godson of a crime boss, Marko, makes the local brothel into a rousing success after double-crossing the mafia Don. This of course angers certain people who come after him. His attempt to quickly rise to the top leads to his downfall.
Proof that sometimes the family business is strictly adults only.
William Rotsler serves up a sleazy cocktail of mob ambition and sexual intrigue, as Marco refuses to settle for just running the whorehouse and instead double-crosses his way up the criminal ladder. With a storyline that’s as tangled as the brothel’s bedsheets and exploitation staples like simulated oral sex, bondage, and a Scandinavian sex goddess, The Godson leaves no taboo untouched.
