Charlie (Harvey Keitel played by Harvey Keitel) and friends of Italian immigrants mingled in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. They have no fixed occupations, and rely on serving the Mafia. Charlie's friend Jonny (Robert De Niro) owed money to the black market businessman Michael, but was unable to repay the debt and was collected all day long. Charlie and Jonny’s cousin Tereza truly love each other, but Tereza hopes that he can leave this unstable life and find a new life. Michael became irritated because he couldn't get money from Jonny. In order to help Jonny settle the matter, Michael promised that he would pay back the money as soon as possible. In the bar, when Michael discovered that Jonny was so poor that it was impossible to pay back the money, the two scuffled together. Jonnie, who was out of control, drew his gun and aimed at Michael, forcing him back. In order to avoid Michael's revenge, Charlie, Jonny, and Tereza decided to hide in the countryside. They were driving to the movie when a car came up from behind. It was Michael in the car. He drew his pistol and fired at the three people's car. The car was knocked over, and the injured three people climbed out of the car with difficulty. Facing the dark night, they cried hopelessly.
