Vinnie knows that Frankie (Timothy Hutton) is blowing paychecks on the numbers and driving away his wife (Lauren Holly) but Vinnie is a reasonable man. He respects the business associates who keep interests in his backroom operation and they in turn don't pressure him. That is until Pete from the Italian partnership sends over his itchy arogant nephew Tony (Freddie Prinze Jr.). Vinnie thinks that he has endured worse. All it takes is one small choice - an uncle looking for a member of his family or a bookie looking the other way - for an entire world to change...
