Vincent "Vinnie" Dellucci, a fast-talking, compulsive gambler and small-time hustler, stumbles upon a lucrative but dangerous scheme: smuggling untaxed cigarettes from Virginia to New York, where high taxes have turned the black-market trade into a gold mine.

The brothers recruit a crew of misfits and street-level hustlers, including a volatile enforcer and a cunning driver, who help them outmaneuver both the mob and the feds. But their success attracts the attention of Dominic Ricci, an aging mob boss clinging to power, and a relentless IRS agent, Evelyn Marlowe , who is determined to crush the burgeoning smuggling ring. As the stakes rise and the dangers escalate, Vinnie becomes consumed by greed, betrayal, and his own self-destructive impulses.The tension explodes when a major shipment goes missing, triggering a violent showdown between the Dellucci brothers, the mob, and the authorities. In a city where loyalty is as fragile as ash and every move is a gamble, Vinnie must decide whether his ambition is worth the price of his soul.
