Description


Near the serene haven of Misty Glen, two men named Peter Leopold reside, each leading vastly different lives. Farmer Peter, a revered WWII veteran, tends to his family's farm with unwavering dedication. The other Peter Leopold, a former city dweller entangled in organized crime, seeks redemption in the tranquility of rural life. Their paths unknowingly intersect through Farmer Peter's grandson, Travis, a budding actor fascinated by history and vintage culture. As Travis embarks on his own journey, he becomes entangled in a narrative that sheds light on the unexpected connections between past and present, rural and urban, virtue and vice. Travis, known as T, and his beloved Connie, known as Poo, concoct a daring plan in New York City. Inspired by T's research into the mysterious mobster Peter Leopold, they decide to infiltrate the unsuspecting town of Misty Glen, adopting new identities and meticulously crafting their characters. Immersing themselves in their roles, they prepare for their most audacious performance to uncover the secrets of Misty Glen. Under the guise of Freddy Dodge, T ventures into Misty Glen, his presence stirring curiosity and concern among the town's residents. He maneuvers discreetly, observing the town's conservative facade and hidden undercurrents. With determination, he strikes a deal with Sheriff Charlie Tritt, securing the Leopold group's foothold in Misty Glen. In Misty Glen's underground chambers, a small council led by mastermind Richard Wadley manages the town's affairs, discussing pivotal matters and navigating power dynamics. Meanwhile, T uncovers secrets buried within the town's history, revealing the Misty Glen Preservation Society's control over the surrounding forest and its covert dealings. As tensions rise in Misty Glen, Freddy and Nico navigate a delicate dance of alliances and confrontations, strategizing their next moves while guarding their own secrets. In a high-stakes poker game, they introduce a new game, 2/22, as part of their plan to reclaim what was stolen. With their adrenaline-fueled escapade unfolding seamlessly, Freddy, Nico, and Milt infiltrate the casino, probing deeper into its secrets and vulnerabilities. They lay the groundwork for future triumphs while unraveling the council's intricate schemes.
