Michael
Felgate (Hugh Grant), an elegant Englishman who runs an auction house in New
York, is head-over-heels in love for the first time in his life. After only
three months of dating his beautiful girlfriend Gina (Jeanne Tripplehorn),
Michael gathers up his courage and proposes marriage. But, to Michael's shock
Gina declares that, though she loves Michael very much, she can never marry
him.
Michael pursues Gina to her father
(James Caan) Frank's restaurant in Little Italy, where Michael introduces
himself to a tight-knit and tight-lipped group of Italian-American men who
treat Frank with more than the usual respect.
As Frank welcomes his potential
son-in-law with open arms, Michael begins to realise that by marrying Gina, he
may not just become a member of her family - he may become a member of The
Family.
Gina refuses to have another of her
boyfriends become corrupted in her family's gangster life, so, to win the hand
of the woman he loves, Michael bravely embarks on a mission to thwart the
intentions of The Mob.
Soon, however, thanks to Gina's charming
father, Michael inadvertently launders money through his auction house, becomes
an accessory to murder and masquerades in certain New York circles as a tough
wise-guy from Kansas City: the notorious Mickey Blue Eyes.
