A twenty-one year old New York City filmmaker finds nothing but depression and betrayal as he sets out to collect on debts owed and is sucked helplessly into a diabolical ambush. Donnie doesn't talk to his mother, and his father died years ago. He's been on his own for as long as he can remember, but now as Donnie struggles to get back on his feet things quickly take a turn for the worst. In order to pull through Donnie will have to seek out the aid of Mulberry Street café owner Gigetto, but Gigetto's problems with the Russian mob have rendered him incapable of focusing on anyone except for himself. As the tensions start to mount, it becomes apparent that there's no simple solution to Donnie's desperate dilemma.
