The series follows a New York City mafia caporegime Jimmy Falcone, who moves to Regina, Saskatchewan to join a witness protection program after he kills his mob boss, Don Gambini.[12][13] While pleading for his uncle Francesco "Cheech" Falcone's life, Don Gambini told Jimmy that he was required to kill his uncle. Then he made a sexual innuendo about Jimmy's oldest daughter Theresa, so an angry Jimmy impulsively threw Don Gambini out the 19th-floor window to his death. The rest of the Gambini mob then retaliated by trying to kill Jimmy, not caring if any of his family got killed. With no other options, Jimmy cut a deal with the FBI to protect his family, and they agreed to place the Falcones in witness protection if Jimmy testified against his fellow mobsters. This results in Jimmy and his family moving to Regina and living a new life under the name McDougal.[12]
