Synopsis for "Guns and Roses"

Jonathan Kellor – former leader of the notorious Kellor crime family of London has died. Dozens of friends and family members attend the memorial service to pay their respects, but also, they are there to officially recognize Jonathan's son, Jack, as the new head of the family.
What the guests don't know, is that the newly-appointed Godfather intends on destroying the crime cartel from within. He knows that it will be a difficult endeavor, as the family's success hinges on the strength of its mystical prowess. Currently, the mystical power base of the Kellor crime family is a Haitian Voodoo priest known only as the Bocor. Although the Bocor has pledged his loyalty to Jack, the Godfather fears that the powerful mystic may soon betray him.
Kellor conducts regular family business, in order to project the appearance that he has his father's best interests at heart. One of the few individuals aware of Jack's true motivations is the scar-faced servant, Floyd. Floyd pledges his loyalty toward helping Jack bring the family down.
Shortly after the funeral service, a pornographer named Robert Merz approaches Jack Kellor and asks him to strong-arm some competitors that are causing his enterprise to lose money. Jack growls at Merz and tells him his dilemma should inspire him to improve his business approach.
Dejected by Jack's refusal, Merz goes behind his back to enlist the aid of the Bocor. Jack learns of this and plans on dealing with Merz's transgressions in his own time.
