Bobby Batton (Tom Sizemore) spends his whole life as part of the Mafia, until he finds out one day that he is the target of a hit man. Batton must turn to the police to gain protection for his family in exchange for giving information about the Mafia. Bobby’s family does not adjust well to a life under surveillance in a tiny apartment, nor do they cope well with the discovery of Bobby’s true nature and what he has done for a living all these years. The family members suffer from frustration, guilt, and blame as a result of his actions.
