GANG WAR

VIVA VISTA, CA near San Diego
Several violent but efficient female gangs operate various criminal activities from labor racketeering, to prostitution, gambling, loan sharking, numbers and finally drug trafficking.
The part east of downtown is the domain/territory of the CIRCUS CAFÉ led by the capable Kylie Roberts, age 44 divorced mother of two…the brains of the outfit and Roberts trusted counselor or consigniere is 34 year olf Margaret Stanton, AKA “Bo”
To the south of this territory sits the rival SOUTH SIDE O’DONNELL (SOD) led by the sisters Allie and Marian O’Donnell. Both in their early forties.  The trusted counselor and # 3 in the gang is the capable. Nell Delcrest 46 years old.
To the west of the Circus Café sits the territory of    the VALLEY GANG. A small gang led by hothead and ambitious Lorraine Howard early thirties. Having close ties with the Southside O’Donnells.
The war breaks out when Alexis O’ Donnell operates a joint loan sharking and numbers venture with a well-placed capo of the Café.  At a health spa, the women argue over profits (The capo, Mira DePalma accuses O’Donnell of skimming to support her drug addiction) the argument becomes heated and eventually physical. Result, DePalma is drowned in the pool.  
Cross gang murders are very serious and the two sides sit down.         The O’Donnells. offer to buy out the Café for DePalma’s share--$300,000. The Café is insulted because the operation is worth at least 2 million annually.  Finally, the Café comes back with a counter offer: Bring us the head of Alexis O’Donnell with $750,000.  Refused.
It’s all-out War. Alexis O’Donnell goes into hiding. The Circus Café finds itself in a two front war against the powerful Southside O’Donnells and the violent Valley Gang.
