Synopsis

Vinnie is a bookie who has run his operation for 30 years from his bar in Brooklyn, maintaining a happy marriage and a steady life. As times change, the higher-ups in the criminal organization demand greater profits, and Vinnie finds himself expendable. He is assigned Tony, a hot-headed young man and the nephew of a local mobster, to mentor. Vinnie is instructed to train Tony in collections and instill some discipline, but he is unaware that Tony's rise will ultimately lead to his downfall. Tensions escalate when Tony begins to challenge Vinnie's authority, taking a bet from an unemployed alcoholic and insisting the bettor's wife settle the debt. As the situation worsens, Vinnie must find a way to save himself—whether or not it preserves his reputation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
