 Anthony Caldarella s debut feature is a semi-autobiographical account of a working-class, Italian-American family living on Manhattan s lower east side in the mid-sixties. Rose Casale (Karen Kondazian) and her four sons - Sal (Peter Allas), who runs a local trattoria, Vincent (Michael Cavalieri), a struggling blues singer, Jack (Marco Leonardi), a charismatic magician, and Joey (Freddy Capra), the youngest - have achieved a level of sustenance that any family would cherish. But at 24, Jack has replaced his love of magic with an uncontrollable craving for heroin and his addiction tests the family s mettle.
