Brighton Beach is a costal neighbourhood at the south end of Brooklyn, stretching between Manhattan Beach and Coney Island. It is well known as a hot spot for the Russian mafia.

Formerly run by Don Moretti, the Russian mob took over when Moretti went to prison. At that time, Vincent Deluca ("The Fix") and Benny D’Agostino worked there as members of La Cosa Nostra under Don Moretti.
Now Moretti’s son Elias wants to claim his birth right by getting back control over the neighbourhood. ("Witness")

Apart from Elias, HR is also running business in Brighton Beach. ("Wolf and Cub")
