Overlooking the Obvious

Milton Stone is a doctor in Brooklyn who is dealing in drugs. His partner Finn McCoole has control of several bars and strip clubs where the drugs are sold. Nick Morosco is the bagman who has been skimming some of the profits of the drugs. On the night of the wedding of Stone's daughter Karen and Herb Fishman, a body was found. The body is Nick Morosco. Stone and McCoole have a falling out that only escalates. Meanwhile, an Israeli named Ari Habbib has been radicalized by ISIS and is planting bombs in New York City. Will the doctor be indicted for dealing in drugs and murder? Will the terrorist Ari Habbib be brought to justice? Overlooking the Obvious will answer these questions in the end.
