Don't let nobody tell you there's no future in a life of crime, because some rackets can last forever. But we'll get around to all that immortality jazz later. A mafia turf war is raging on the mean streets of the Big Apple, a place where regular joes bounce between backdoor booze joints and the breadline. But this caper ain't about a simple gangland brawl. It's about hoods who can't seem to die proper after catching a bullet or five between the eyes. Sadistic hit-men and the dames they love, mad bombers going boom, monsters going bump and soul sucking alchemists bootlegging an elixir of eternal life. <p>Just remember, Baccano! ain't about beginnings and ends. It's about the twists and turns, bub. Paths don't cross in this story - They collide. Every Dick and Jane plays the lead and it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

The train is pulling in and the mobsters and monsters who populate this caper are ready to settle a score that’s been a long time coming. But this ain’t about revenge or pride. This is about the ins and outs of living forever. It’s about making your way among thieves with honor and politicians with dirty hands. This is about sticking up for the guys that do you right and the gals that love you good.

For now, how’s about we start at the end of the story, where a ruthless alchemist is gonna get his after a couple of centuries of shady soul eating. It's as good a start as any for a story that never ends.

Mafia goons are doing their best to whack each other on the mean streets of the Big Apple, and hot lead is punching holes in the walls of a cross-country train called the Flying Pussyfoot. But this caper ain’t about a simple gangland feud or a train heist. It’s about hoods that can't seem to die proper after catching a bullet or five between the eyes. Sadistic hit-men, the dames they love, and soul-sucking alchemists bootlegging an elixir of eternal life.

For now, how's about we start on a ship called the Advenna Avis. Seems a group of guys who never wanna die are summoning a demon, and the proceedings are turning nasty. It's as good a start as any for a story where every Dick and Jane plays the lead.

The immortal gangsters are still trying to rub each other out, but hoods who won’t die are tough to whack. Explosions rock the Flying Pussyfoot as the train nears the station, but this caper ain’t about arrivals and departures. It’s about the twists and turns along the way. It’s about vicious monsters, deadly dames, and the sins of the past colliding with the present.

For now, how's about we start in the alleys of the Big Apple. A notorious thug has gotten his filthy hands on a mysterious elixir and it just might mean his reign of terror could last forever. It's as good a start as any for a story where every Dick and Jane plays the lead.
