Ron Cosentino writes and directs this gangland screwball tragedy about a young street smart kid trying to protect his family. Though his mother (Karen Black) is an alcoholic, Duke Romano (Carmine D. Giovinazzo) is primarily concerned with his loser brother Frankie, who makes the monumentally stupid decision to rob a truck full of designer shoes from trigger-happy local mobster Nicky Kaplan. When Nicky puts a hit out on Frankie, Duke does everything in his power to keep the mafia from killing his sibling. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
