No Haven is the story of how the Mafia operated in New Haven, told through the experiences of some of the key players in the Connecticut organized crime scene.

When Grasso signed up with the Patriarca Family out of New England, he began a campaign of conquest that only ended when his body was found on a riverbed outside of Hartford in 1989. These events take place in a city going through transformative urban renewal and social change, in a concerted effort to make it America's "Model City."
