June 27, 1980: a DC–9 flying over the Tyrrhenian Sea breaks up mid-air and crashes near the Italian island of Ustica, killing all 81 people on board. The official version blames the "structural failure" of the plane, but a young journalist smells a cover-up and starts to uncover the truth out of the 'invisible wall' of lies built by politicians and air force higher-ups.

Set in the 1930's, Birth of the Black Underworld takes viewers on a fascinating journey into the makings of the black underworld and the evolving mindsets of a pack of young would be gangsters lead by Satterfield Jackson who was an orphan taken in by respected Italian mobster Marco Ricci who has ties in both the Italian and Jewish Mafia. Marco and Satterfield develop a father/son bond and like any father would do, Ricci grooms Satterfield for the real world. The Underworld.
