 SEASON 2, EPISODE 10 NIGHT HUNGER Michael Fiorno (Richard Panebianco) has grown from a quiet boy whose father's store was adjacent to Vendredi Antiques, to a sullen and bitter adult, still plagued by childhood memories of his domineering father Dominic (Nick Nichols). When he was a youngster, Michael's father constantly belittled him, calling his son a loser and comparing him unfavorably to a classmate known as the 'Deacon'. Now a young man, Michael pursues his love of cars, challenging local hot rodders to races and to his father's surprise, winning them. Around his neck, he sports a chain with a blank key dangling from it. Dominic gave the key to Michael as a cruel token of his disappointment in him, but the chain was a gift from the one man who had befriended the lonely child- Lewis Vendredi. With the cursed necklace to help him, Michael has been on a systematic killing spree to ensure his racing victories. After each murder, he dips the key into the blood of his victims, thus giving his car the supercharged powers it needs to win. CAST & CREW RYAN DALLION- JOHN D.
