Frank Vincent and Vincent Pastore from the Soprano's fame lead the cast of this acclaimed Mafia drama. A Brooklyn seminary student tries to save his brother from gambling debts and does a "favor" for the mob. Things go sour for the two brothers when they attempt a robbery. They are suddenly pitted against each other and must decide between their love for each other and their own personal survival.

A brilliant but socially inept 14-year-old experiences heartbreak for the first time when his two best friends – Cappie, an older-brother figure, and Maggie, the new girl with whom he is in love – fall for each other.
