A coming-of-age drama set in 1960s Bronx that explores the tension between paternal love and street loyalty, anchored by nostalgia and the pull of two competing moral worlds.

Set in the Bronx during the tumultuous 1960s, an adolescent boy is torn between his honest, working-class father and a violent yet charismatic crime boss. Complicating matters is the youngster's growing attraction - forbidden in his neighborhood - for a beautiful black girl.
