...is finding the perfect name.

Currently I'm about 10 pages away from completing my first full-length screenplay (after about 12 shorts) and I'm having some uncertainties about the name.

Heres the deal, its about an undercover cop who infiltrates the Mafia, but he becomes really close friends with some of the gangsters and is faced with a decision between his moral beliefs and his friends, between his job as a cop and a career in organized crime.

I was thinking about 'Man of Honor" which I read somewhere is the basic meaning of the term 'Mafioso', which was also an early idea. But I want to have the best possible name for this flick. Any ideas?
