The narrative of Santo Bastucci, a banker with an uncommon gift for numbers. He's unwittingly cast into the forefront of an aging wiseguy's bidding for power, Manny"The Hand" Mistera. Santo is caught between the loyalty he's because of Basta, Benny, his childhood friend, his cagey father-in-law, the pastor of their Brooklyn church, and also his uncle, Matteo.
