Los Angeles filmmaker Larry Torro set
out to make what should have been a short film about his New York Italian
family. Instead he inadvertently found himself doing a film about his
aging "Uncle Jimmy". Jimmy 9 Lives, a high-ranking member
of an East Coast crime family.
With Jimmy as his guide Torro spent the next
eleven harrowing months becoming a reluctant participant in illegal
activities as well as encountering some violent yet fascinating career
criminals. As he descended further into their world, he witnessed something
so chilling that it altered the course of both their lives...forever.
