Synopsis
Frank Rivers dreams of becoming an artist. He believes that if he works hard enough, trying every art-form on the planet, he will have success. But life as a struggling artist is poor and being from a rough neighborhood in Brooklyn doesn't make it any easier. Trying to finance his career he borrows money from a friend of the family. But there's a problem: the friend is a sworn member of the mob.
