Sharp-shooter Jerry Bolanti (Cortese) returns to his old neighbourhood to pick up some work as a debt collector. But no sooner has he hooked up with old pal Joe (Pesci) than he starts to make waves by causing a scene with Al Capone’s nephew. In retrospect, it’s a move that serves him well, gaining him respect and his first gig. Thereafter, however, things don’t run so smoothly. His first collection ends badly, losing him his collected money, his credibility and a fair amount of blood. Then, against his handler’s advice Jerry takes revenge into his own hands, sparking a chain reaction of retribution which circles closer and closer to home. With a few friends by his side, Jerry decides to take it all the way to the top, but the ladder goes a lot higher than even he can reach and by the time he realises it could be too late.
