Plots(1)
Growing up on the streets without a father and desperately trying to make his mother proud, Tommy Gibbs (Williamson) takes whatever comes his way, running errands, working his way up to get a taste of the good life. But when a crooked cop gets in his way, Tommy soon realises there's a better way to operate - and takes charge of his future by establishing his own delivery service. Muscling in on the infamous Cardoza family, Tommy takes over, establishing himself as the first black Godfather in Manhattan - tightening the squeeze on anyone who dares stand in his way - including the crooked cop! (Umbrella Entertainment)
