After all, Johnny is about to face a devastating betrayal, a serious incident involving drug violence, relentless scheming, and an unexpected underwear theft that will prove too much to handle. But when all is said and done, is this what life is supposed to be? — Nick Riganas Johnny is a successful banker with great respect for and dedication to the people in his life, especially his future wife Lisa.
