Carlito's Way Collection

A desperate bid to escape a life of crime unites these gritty crime dramas as they track Carlito Brigante through the volatile streets of New York City. Across the entries, the protagonist battles to secure a legitimate future alongside a devoted romantic partner while weighed down by dangerous loyalties to compromised associates and ambitious gangsters. The narrative shifts from early street-level heroin distribution under intense ethnic friction to later entanglements with an unstable attorney and the Italian mob. Throughout both stories, the scale of corruption intensifies as corrupt law enforcement and ruthless rivals threaten to drag the central figure back into the underworld he tries so hard to leave behind.
