Antonio Montana isn't the patriarch of the Montana family -- that's his father, Old Niccolo. But as the eldest son, he will be one day. He is a thin, worried-looking person who works very hard, but compared to many others in the family, he's known to be 'different'. Part of that is because he went off to England as a young man and came back with an English wife -- Elizabeth.

However, with five obedient, loving children and a supportive wife, Antonio's life is good.  His only real challenge is dealing with the problems that have come to the whole town recently, through some kind of evil magic that seems to be working against them all.

Ultimately, it is his own family that will help to resolve the problem, save the town, and make Antonio's whole world a whole lot better.
