A 60-year old grandfather brings his blind 18-year-old granddaughter to Rome for experimental eye surgery. Another American staying at their hotel has committed a sophisticated burglary in the Vatican and has stolen an ancient document.

Fictionalized version of criminal life in New England during the Twentieth Century. It follows the life of "e;Donato 'Danny' Pastore, who virtually grows up on the streets beginning as a young boy after he is seriously and irreparably traumatized by a tragic murder in his family. He struggles with his psychological problems while also being conflicted about the life he is leading and his tragic search for a meaningful relationship with several women that come into his life at various crucial times. The entire gauntlet of emotions come to pass in the story as Danny struggles with his guilt and emotional imbalance.
