In New York 4 young guys with extremely low paying jobs and with an elementary school education are trying to find their big break. Jason, Greg, Bart, and Tom decide they want in the bootlegging business, they figure racketeering pays big bucks and they are really in need of money fast. The four guys go to the head honcho, aka Joseph Franco III (Handsome Joey) the Mob boss that runs all the organized crime syndicates in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami and the top bootlegger.
