A bicentenarian lobster mobster runs a treacherous seafood operation in New York's waters, with a network stretching from Manhattan's finest restaurants to the murky depths of Long Island Sound. After escaping from a grocery store tank in 1823, he built his empire through cunning, betrayal, and an ever-growing pair of claws. Now 8 feet long and weighing 200 pounds, he operates in the shadows, feared by those who know him, yet largely unknown to humans—who might see him as a seafood delicacy.
A converted warehouse on the Brooklyn waterfront appears abandoned from the outside, but inside, New York's saltiest criminals gather for a celebration. The Clawfather, a massive eight-foot lobster—the result of two centuries of continuous growth—positions himself on a raised platform at the center of the room, drawing all eyes. What few strands of sunlight penetrate the space glint off his polished red shell.
The shadows cast by heavy support beams conceal the audience as dock workers and restaurant owners exchange hushed whispers with various marine associates. In a dark corner, a group of large, elderly lobsters sits apart from the crowd.
"Two hundred years," rumbles the Clawfather, his voice like grinding stone. "Two centuries since a group of young lobsters made a daring escape from Joe's Fish Market." His eyestalks swivel toward his former tankmates. "Some of them are here tonight. The ones who... understood how business works."
He pauses, his massive claw clicking softly. "We started with nothing. Just some scared crustaceans trying to survive. But I had a vision. Why should we end up on a plate? Instead, we learned to play the game and come out on top."
The doors crack open, spilling sunlight into the warehouse. Two enforcers escort in a struggling figure. The Clawfather's speech dies as his eyestalks narrow. "Well," he says, his celebratory tone hardening into something darker, "someone chose quite the occasion to test my patience."
