Nicky Little Gypsy's life becomes a tightrope act without a net as he tries to balance raising his young brother and keeping him out of the family business, which is crime, a romance with Bitty, his childhood sweetheart, who wants him out of the business for his own good and a menacing neighborhood mob boss that wants him out of the business of breathing.
While all this is happening two cops are literally carving their way up through Nicky's crew. one wants, to steal Nicky's sweetheart, the other, just wants to win the next bet.
All of the friction above reaches critical mass during a Fourth of July fireworks grand finale.
