Her ties to the local mafia quickly strengthening due to her criminal endeavor, Patty eventually strikes up a relationship with local mobster Frank Russo (Gedrick). Russo is impressed by Patty's remarkable business savvy, and quickly hires her to manage one of his nearby nightclubs. It isn't long before Patty is rising through the ranks, ultimately becoming a trusted money-courier for the local crime syndicate. But while Patty may be making a mint by working for the mob, she's beginning to fear that her sons will wind up following her down the same dangerous path. Her reservations regarding her lucrative yet shady career growing with each passing day, Patty begins to wonder if there's any hope for severing her ties to one of New York's five biggest crime families without losing her life in the process. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    IT was based off a true story, which are the types of movies that always get me emotional. That someone could have that kind of strength is amazing. And of course, Alyssa Milano played her part the best she could. It wasn't half-bad.

    love the gangster mob movies, especially with a well known cast, thought it was a story already told but still holds your interest. I thought Jason Gedrick was amazing, he plays a tuff guy well
