Staten Island (2009)

In the gritty expanse of Staten Island, New York, the ruthless mob boss Parmie Tarzo reigns supreme. Meanwhile, Sully Halverson, a humble septic tank cleaner and hopeful family man, struggles with his wife, Mary, in their pursuit of parenthood. Running parallel is the story of Jasper "Jas" Sabiano, a mute and deaf man who navigates a quiet existence as a deli meat slicer by day and Tarzo's secretive body disposer by night. A peculiar camaraderie exists between the unsuspecting Sully and the silent Jas, held together by a shared fondness for horse racing. One fateful day, Sully, not the sharpest tool in the shed, conceives a daring plan to rob Tarzo's residence, with the hope of funding a fertility clinic for Mary's artificial insemination needs. Simultaneously, Jas's fortunes turn unexpectedly when he wins the horse race. However, their lives take a dramatic turn when an assassination attempt on Tarzo reveals a conspiracy within his own ranks. As the threads of their lives entwine, a tragic tapestry of consequences awaits the trio. This tale of ambition, betrayal, and hope in Staten Island unravels, promising a profound exploration of the human condition.
