In the 1980s a group of Israelis set up one of the most lucrative crime syndicates in New York City's history. The gang's rackets ranged from drug dealing to contract killing and were dubbed the 'Israeli Mafia' by the tabloids. They butted heads with the Italian Mafia, killed Russian gangsters and pulled off the biggest gold heist in the history of NYC's Diamond District. Blood & Volume doesn't glorify the gangsters or the criminal life; it reveals the workings of one of the most successful Israeli gangs ever to operate on American soil.
