Longtime hit man Lou Marazano (Frank Vincent) often dreams about his glory days -- when respect and protocol ruled the Chicago mob. When kingpin Stefan D'Agostino (Armand Assante) needs some witness eliminated, Lou volunteers for one last big job so that he can retire. The task becomes complicated, however, when younger thugs resent Lou's interference, and an old enemy, Det. Ralph Maloney (Danny Goldring), hopes to even their overdue score.
