A chance meeting led actor and filmmaker Gino Cafarelli to a book about two very different brothers whose idea of normal was anything but normal. Cafarelli became convinced that their unprecedented first-person accounts of life at the intersection of Hoodlum and Gangster needed to be told on the screen.
Cafarelli and fellow producer Carmine Famiglietti (Here After, Check Point, Amexicano) worked with brothers Jeffrey and Michael Gentile, Jr. to find that one moment that encapsulated their unusual upbringing among hoodlums and gangsters - not in the mob, but near the mob -- what the brothers called "mob adjacent."
