Lou Marazano was once a feared hit man, but his reputation has dimmed significantly twenty years after his retirement. Unable to help his daughter financially after her exhusband fails to pay child support, he asks the street boss, Lorenzo Galante, for work. Though reluctant to give him the job, the mob sends him to kill several witnesses who will testify against a corrupt labor leader. After Marazano sends flowers to the widow of one of the men he kills, Ray Berkowski, a veteran cop, reopens a case that involved a string of murders from the early 1990s. Though discouraged from investigating, Berkowski and his partner, Ralph Maloney, stake out the second target. Picked up at the scene of he crime, Marazano does not talk, and the police are forced to set him free when his girlfriend and her neighbors provide an alibi.Worried that Marazano may talk in order to avoid jail time, the mob orders him killed. Marazano stays a step ahead of his former friends, and he is able to kill the crew sent to assassinate him. Knowing that he must also kill DAgostino, the local mob boss, Marazano heads to DAgostinos bar, where DAgostino threatens Maraznos family. Unmoved by the threats, Marazano kills DAgostino and offers his gold watch to an elderly man. When the elderly man is taken in by the police as a potential witness, they spot the distinctive watch and realize that they have enough evidence to arrest Marazano. Meanwhile, Marazano collects the money from his job and receives his final target, Maloney, who has taken over the investigation once Berkowski became frustrated with the departments red tape. ........
