Bankir Santo je pošten družinski človek, ki ima sposobnost, da si zapomni dolga zaporedja števil. Zaradi njegovega talenta ga najame ostareli mafijec Manny, ki načrtuje nov podvig. Santo se znajde v neprijetnem položaju, saj ga njegov tast Benny, sicer manj pomembni gangster, spodbuja k sodelovanju, njegov stric Matteo, pastor v domači cerkvi, ki dobro pozna Brooklynske ulice, pa ga svari pred nevarnostjo. Santo nato pritegne pozornost tajnega agenta, ki bi rad spravil Mannyja za rešetke…

Santo is caught between the loyalty he has for his cagey father-in-law, Benny, his childhood friend, Basta, and his streetwise uncle, Matteo, the pastor of their Brooklyn church.
