Misty Button
With a story of a caper gone mistaken, this black comedy evokes the freewheeling émigré tradition of lads quick on work and money and lengthy on heavy boozing within the Irish lairs of Brooklyn and the Bronx. James, who has simply burned his final bridge and now lacks each a job and a spouse, groups up with buddy Eoin on a for-hire mission to the racetrack on behalf of slippery raconteur Timmy Thomas. In a slipshod try at sleight of hand by a pair who wouldn’t know a profitable hand in the event that they noticed one, the boys screw up royally, placing themselves underneath heavy obligation to a clutch of gangsters. There’s a unique approach when a daring girl with a comfortable spot for the sound of Irish and the hots for dollars units her sights on James.
