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?
