Struggling bar owner Tony Marino and his partner, Bastogne take out a life-insurance policy on neighborhood drunk Michael Malloy. The pair then attempt to kill Malloy for the payout — only to discover Malloy is seemingly impossible to kill. As Marino’s increasingly desperate schemes continue to fail, the two men form an unexpected bond, building toward a haunting final act of sacrifice against the backdrop of Depression-era New York.
