Storia
Slevin is unwittingly drawn into a deadly conflict between two powerful gangsters when he arrives in New York City to visit his friend Nick Fisher. The two mob bosses, The Rabbi and The Boss, mistake Slevin for Nick due to their striking resemblance. Caught in the middle of this personal war, Slevin is forced by The Boss to assassinate The Rabbi's son, while being constantly watched by an infamous assassin known as Goodkat. Meanwhile, Slevin discovers that Nick owes a large gambling debt to The Boss, which explains his sudden disappearance. As Slevin navigates this dangerous situation, he tries to come up with a plan to get out of his predicament alive.
