Movie Info

Hiding out from Russian mobsters, American criminals Settimo (Dan Hedaya) and Gino (Danny Nucci) pay a visit to their Scottish cousin, Roberto (Gerald Lepkowski). The unassuming Scotsman operates a small restaurant and believes his relatives are businessmen, so he's thrown for a loop when he discovers their true occupation. When the Russians send British hit men after Settimo and Gino, Roberto gets pulled into the dangerous situation, along with his crush, the comely Alice (Shirley Henderson).
