The superb Peter Falk stars as Vinnie, a good-hearted small-time bookie who makes his biggest career mistake when he takes on the brash Tony (Freddie Prinze Jr.), the nephew of a mob thug, as his assistant. Tony's a hardcore bully who won't hesitate to put the screws on anyone who won't pay up. When hardluck gambler Frankie (Timothy Hutton) falls in debt to Tony, not only does he put his own life in jeopardy, but he places his wife Marybeth (Lauren Holly) in a compromising position, leaving Vinnie to bring a harrowing situation under control.
