- Synopsis
- Joe Krozac is a big shot mob kingpin with an ego to match his status in the underworld. Whenever his territory is encroached on, as with the Kile Brothers, he ruthlessness doesn't stop at murder. He returns from a European excursion with new wife Talya and becomes overjoyed when she announces she is pregnant, 'envisioning his son as the eventual heir apparent to his criminal empire. However Joe finds himself doing ten years in Alcatraz for tax evasion. He made a lot of enemies as a hoodlum and penitentiary life takes its toll. When Talya becomes reluctant to bring their son with her on prison visits, Joe is infuriated and threatens her, resulting in their divorce. Talya and her new husband fear the day when Joe leaves prison as much as the surviving Kile brother anticipates it.
