A 1970s crime drama about three Hell's Kitchen women who take over their imprisoned husbands' mob operations, blending period atmosphere with action and female empowerment.

The mobster husbands of three 1978 Hell's Kitchen housewives are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia's matters into their own hands — proving unexpectedly adept at everything from running the rackets to taking out the competition… literally.
