Based on the true life of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) in the New York Mafia. As Henry Hill grows up, he progresses from running errands for the local Mafia to become a fully-fledged member of the gang. Henry is half-Italian, half-Irish and as such will never be accepted into the higher echelons of the Mafia as a 'name'.

Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains.
