OKAY.

My MCs' family is in the Mafia. In the second chapter, the Don of the family is murdered by a Russian mob faction living in New Jersey. The Don was handicapped in the seventies from getting shot three times, and the family has been considered a joke in the mafia ever since. The Don, the uncle of the MCs wants one of them to be his successor and to lead the family to *~*~*glory**~**~. After the MC takes his place as Don at the age of 18, he begins to draw his family out of drug trafficking and other very unsavory things that led them into ruin. His family's rise to success causes an all out war in the Italian American mafia.

This is just the subplot btw LMFAO.

How would this take place without sounding stupid and unrealistic? Does anyone have any more info on the mafia's dealings? What could they be involved in, how could a war be executed without drawing the attention of the FBI?
