Synopsis
The Rossini brothers, Tommy, Jake, and Looney, are a product of the old neighborhood. Born in Manhattan's Little Italy in a cold-water tenement and surrounded by mob influence, each sought to escape in his own way. But sometimes life and Ponzi schemes throw you a curveball, and you find yourself back where you began.
Thirty years after breaking away from Mulberry Street, Tommy Rossini, fresh back from Arizona after being wiped out by Bernie Madoff, finds himself sharing his old room with Jake, newly returned from Miami and yet another failed business venture. Living with their aging mother and her caregiver while dodging the landlord and the local mob boss wasn't exactly in the plan. And brother Looney, a nine-to-five worker happy with his dinner-at-six and bed-at-ten life in Staten Island, isn't looking for any more family turmoil either! Still, all three, and matriarch Maddie, find themselves back together, in the center of a plot involving the death of the local monsignor, a hospital embezzlement scheme, a bloodthirsty Mafia don, and a parrot who might just know the way out of it all.
With humor, love, intrigue, and a whole lot of brotherly repartee, this tale of sibling rivalry and sibling bond shows that home is where the heart is--and other body parts, too!
