COWTOWN Freddie Demonti grew up in small Chicago neighborhood, called Cowtown. Back in the 1800's, Cowtown consisted of a general store, a one room school house, a church, a couple of saloons, and was surrounded by cattle farms. Over the years, the farms were sold off to greedy land developers, houses were built, and the town grew and prospered. Early in the 1900's, Cowtown was annexed to the City of Chicago. Freddie Demonti's great grand-father, Alfredo, was born in Cowtown around that time, and his parents decided it would be a good place to settle down and raise their family. Throughout the years, the Demonti men were known for their fast tempers and quick fists, and Freddie lived up to their reputation. The slightest thing could set him off and he earned the nickname, 'Firecracker', when he was just a kid. Soon after Freddie beats up Mike Campanale for spilling a drink on him, three young women decide to get even by embarrassing Freddie in front of the town. They hit Freddie where they know it will hurt him the most - they mess with his Conquest Knight XV. Big mistake! What starts out as a prank quickly turns into a war between the two families.After one of Mike's sisters goes missing, Detective Peppers, of the Chicago Police Department, is brought in to investigate. As he runs into one stumbling block after another, he quickly realizes that dealing with the Demonti and Campanale families is way beyond the norm.
