Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Rejected by his father after getting drawn into a life of crime, brash Italian-American youth Nick (Ben Barnes) hooks up with the Boston Mafia, and convinces a powerful boss that he has what it takes to become a "Made Man." Subsequently disillusioned by the waning power status of the once-revered criminal outfit, Nick circumvents his boss by enlisting the aid of his best friend George (Slaine) in expanding the organization's business. Nick is successful at first, but everything starts to fall apart when he falls in love with a woman (Leighton Meester) and decides to go straight.
