On Christmas Eve, Frankie Pesce Jr (Anthony LaPaglia) of Queens wins $6 million in New York State's first lottery.
But instead of joy, he's in a rage, breaking church windows and
disturbing the peace after which he is arrested.
At the police station, he tells his story to Sgt Tartaglia (Robert
Forster) beginning with his hazardous birth and all the ins and outs of life in
the Pesce household, from his father (Danny Aiello) losing his trucking
business to a Mafia wise guy, right up to the point he lost his job as a
teamster.
But all in all it’s a fairly ordinary life for a New Yorker so why after
winning $6 million, is Frankie so disconsolate?
