In modern day New York City where La Cosa Nostra is off the radar, a young man and his crew try to build an empire from the ground up.

Mario Latona, (Frankie Montero) and his best friend "Silk shirt" Johnny (Kevin Pettei) are young kids with a passion for crime. Mario dreams of becoming a real gangster like his Uncle Frank, (Alfredo Nasti) an under-boss of the local mob chapter, but in order to do so he has to operate at the lowest ranks first. When things are just going good for Mario, Johnny becomes greedy and reckless, while an older wiseguy (Eric Roberts) who's been locked up since the 1980's returns home to cause trouble for the young crew.—Olde York Productions
