The Westies

The story

In early 1980s Hell’s Kitchen, the Westies control their corner of New York through violence, leverage, and a fragile arrangement with the Italian Mafia. When construction of the Jacob Javits Convention Center turns their turf into a rich new source of money, that uneasy peace starts to crack. Younger members want a bigger stake and a riskier path, while the old guard tries to keep the gang’s alliances intact and stop a street war from spilling open. As profit, loyalty, and family ties collide, the Westies find themselves under growing FBI scrutiny that threatens to expose every deal holding their world together.
