The children of notorious Mafia wiseguy and informant Henry Hill-the real-life
subject of Goodfellas-tell their own story of danger, hurt, and family in this
extraordinary account of growing up with an out-of-control father in the
federal witness protection program.
Henry Hill's business partner, Jimmy Burke, has whacked every person who could
possibly implicate him in the infamous Lufthansa robbery at JFK airport. On
his way to prison, lifelong gangster Henry is given two options: sleep with
the fishes, or enter the FBI's Witness Protection Program.
Unfortunately for his children Gregg and Gina, they're dragged along for the
ride. Like nomads, they're forced to wander from state to state, constantly
inventing new names and finding new friends, only to abandon them at a
moment's notice. They live under constant fear of being found and killed.
But Henry, the rock Gregg and Gina so desperately need, is a heavy cocaine
user and knows only the criminal life. He is soon up to his old tricks and
consistently putting their identities in jeopardy. And so it continues until
the kids, now almost grown, can no longer ignore that the Mob might be less of
a threat to them than remaining under the roof of their increasingly
unbalanced father.
