Based on a true story, the action starts in 1949 in Brownsville, NY. Harry’s head is in the toilet. He is a lawyer who doesn’t practice. Natty, his daughter, wonders why. The family is desperately poor. Rose, Harry’s wife, is a nurse, vain flirtatious and preoccupied with Abby, her crazy daughter. Natty is repeatedly left with unusual relatives in Cleveland, Ohio where Bob Firestone her uncle, a union organizer and racketeer is in trouble with the law. Bob has connections to Murder, Incorporated headquartered down the street from the family in Brownsville. Abby is desperate to live a life of her own, away from her overbearing mother. Natty falls in love with a boxer turned soldier turned artist. Rose has a succession of marriages to men who worship but cannot abide her.
