Clerks of the Five Families
""Ripping tickets, selling respect, and serving up attitude.""
In the gritty underbelly of New Jersey, Dante and Randal, two convenience store clerks with a penchant for wisecracks and a love of hockey, find themselves caught up in a world of organized crime when they're recruited by the infamous Five Families. After a chance encounter with a mobster, they're drawn into the world of loan-sharking, extortion, and hijackings, all while trying to navigate their mundane lives. As they rise through the ranks, they must balance their loyalty to their new "family" with their own eccentricities and relationships, including Randal's on-again, off-again romance with a local mob moll and Dante's fixation on a beautiful funeral home receptionist. As they become embroiled in a turf war between rival families, they must use their quick wit and sharp tongues to stay one step ahead of the law and their own inept mob bosses, all while trying to keep their sanity intact.
