Vendetta is set in the fictional American city of Silver Harbor, a busy port on America's eastern seaboard. It is the early 1930s, and the years of prohibition, followed by the financial ruin of the depression years, have seen many power struggles between not only the police and the bootleggers, but also between the various gangs. The conflict between Italian and Irish mobs have left openings which a number of people have exploited; from legal entrepreneurs to petty criminals.
