Plot

The teenager Nicholas Borelli II lives with his parents in a typical US small town. His life is not very exciting, especially since his parents are overbearing with regard to germs and diet. He is to spend the summer holidays in a math camp, while his parents are working in Papua New Guinea. The camp does not take place, however, and so Nicholas spent the summer with his grandmother Tutti and his uncle Frankie in Brooklyn, New York City.

First, Nicholas is overwhelmed by life in the big city. Besides, he does not dare to ask his uncle about his job, since his father had persuaded him to stay away from Frankie, since he would not fit into the family. Nicholas finds connection to the New York teenagers Donna and Tommy, who help him to get along in the metropolis. Over time, the clues are growing that Frankie is working for the Mafia. When Nicholas takes a phone call on Frankie's private phone, he takes a job for a certain Paulie, which actually leads him into a mafia environment. He gives himself the name Nicky Deuce. By chance he gained some recognition within the gangster ring, which brings him further orders. Nicky is also sure his uncle is a mafioso as the orders were intended for him.
