Overview

Based on the book and true story of Tony 'Tony Nap' Napoli, who is the son of one of the most powerful and respected organized crime leaders of the modern era. Tony's father was Genovese Family Capo, James 'Jimmy Nap' Napoli, a mob kingpin who ruled over the largest gambling empire in America for almost 40 years. Told from Tony Napoli's autobiography is a bold recounting of the confidential world that he and his father inhabited. In the film, Tony's life as a boxer, army soldier, enforcer, casino boss, fugitive, hustler and offspring to one of the most powerful mobsters of the century is depicted. This story is not only about the dealings of the Napoli Empire, but also the cherished relationship Tony had with his father, his Don, along with his roller coaster account of family legend and organized crime, followed by his turnaround focus on sobriety and civic contribution.
