About the Job
Don Zavetta is a man forged in blood, trauma, and vengeance a ghost of a child who watched the world take everything from him and decided to return the favor. Now in his early 70s, he’s a high-profile drug cartel boss who hides his scars behind tailored suits, expensive cologne, and a smile that never reaches his eyes. Charismatic, unpredictable, and dangerously intelligent, Zavetta commands fear the way most men command respect. As a boy, he witnessed the unimaginable: his parents hacked to death by cartel enforcers with machetes. That moment didn’t just break him it reshaped him. In the aftermath, the world became something to dominate, not belong to. He built his empire from the ashes of that childhood nightmare, brick by brick, corpse by corpse, until his name became synonymous with power and terror. To the outside world, Don Zavetta is a king draped in decadence. His nights are filled with lavish parties, luxury cars, and a rotating circle of beautiful women who double as spies, couriers, and enforcers. He’s charming when he wants to be disarmingly so but beneath the surface lies a storm of paranoia and rage. His indulgence in his own product high grade cocaine has begun to unravel the sharp, methodical mind that once made him untouchable. Now, he’s slipping: missing details, making impulsive calls, lashing out at shadows. His empire still stands, but the cracks are starting to show. Fifteen years ago, Zavetta committed a murder that still haunts him the killing of Val, a local rancher who had crossed paths with the cartel at the wrong time. Val’s death was just another message back then, another show of dominance. But now, it’s the ghost that won’t stop whispering in his ear. Because Val had a son Donovan and that boy has grown into a man who’s starting to dig. As Donovan inches closer to the truth, Zavetta’s paranoia deepens. Every shadow feels like an assassin, every phone call a betrayal. His drug use blurs reality, feeding his conviction.
