 Mario Bellini s (Adrien Brody) life as an undertaker may not be filled with romance, but his funeral parlor certainly sees some action: Business is booming because of a local mob war. While wise guys are being bumped off left and right, Mario is asked by crime boss Alberto (Burt Young) to hide his hit man brother Rocco (Jeff Wincott). A love quadrangle forms among Mario and Rocco s long-suffering wife Maria (Kari Wuhrer), Rocco and Mario s girlfriend Louise (Holly Gaginer), and the body count suddenly rises.
