In 1955, teenager Henry Hill becomes enamored by the criminal life and Mafia presence in East New York, a working class Italian American neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City.

She is soon seduced by Henry's glamorous lifestyle and marries him despite the disapproval of her parents.

Realizing that the unsanctioned murder of a made man will invite retribution, Jimmy, Henry and Tommy bury the body in Upstate New York, stabbing and fatally shooting him when he is discovered to be alive.
