Beyond the Sea (2024)

Chicago, 1938. For Jules Tivoli, a seventeen-year-old immigrant, the city’s underworld becomes his new reality after a chance encounter with Adam Czar. The older, magnetic figurehead of the local Mafia sees potential in the young man’s audacity and draws him into his orbit. What begins as mentorship quickly evolves into a dangerous intimacy. Jules sheds his initial reticence, his ambition and nerve propelling him through the organization’s ranks. His growing influence, however, casts a long shadow over his relationship with Adam. The older man’s initial seduction curdles into a cold, watchful resentment as his protégé’s star rises within their shared world of smoke-filled rooms and whispered deals.
