Synopsis
A crime drama set in New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically the most dangerous year in the city’s history. The film examines one immigrant’s determined climb up a morally crooked ladder, where simmering rivalries and unprovoked attacks threaten his business, family, and—above all—his own unwavering belief in the righteousness of his path.
