Saddled with an alcoholic mother and an irresponsible younger
brother Frankie, streetwise Duke Romano tries to protect
his family. But he can't prevent Frankie and his naïve
friends from making a colossally bad decision -- stealing
a truckload of designer shoes from hot-tempered mob boss
Nicky Kaplan. When Nicky unleashes his henchman, they're
asking few questions and leaving fewer witnesses. Exploring
the complexities of sibling rivalry and betrayal, this film
turns conventional genre elements askew in a landscape where
drama meets farce and farce becomes tragedy.
