Opis

Fed up with hearing about his sibling's children and their perfect lives, Frank Bellincioni decides to remind his sister and brother where they came from. One Christmas Eve he begins to fill in his great nephew Michael on all the family history that the past two generations know nothing about. Currently all pillars of society, benefactors of the church and highly respected city attorneys, Uncle Frank spills the beans on the family's connection to the mafia, money laundering, grandma's love of weed, great grandpa's bookmaking operation and small town motel room sex. It all takes place in the swinging 1960's, the decade that changed everything. Frank reminisces on his childhood as he explains it all to Michael. When great grandpa moved the family from Chicago to the picturesque suburb of Prospect Heights, not only were they in for massive culture shock but the ridged values they clung to went by the wayside. Anyone who has moved their family from the city to suburbia will be nodding their heads as they follow the Bellincioni's adventurous endeavor.
