Mike Manadoro (Kevin Zegers) is torn between two worlds -- his numbers-runner father Vinny's (Vincent D'Onofrio) Brooklyn way of life and the college lifestyle he discovers as a photography student -- in this drama based on Tim McLoughlin's novel Heart of the Old Country. While earning money for school as his father's driver and by delivering packages for a local mobster, Mike yearns to fully embrace the urbane new world he's entered.
