Plot
When the Daye family goes out to dinner, they become accidental witnesses to a gangland slaying at a Japanese restaurant. One of the mobsters, Nick Delgado, is shot and captured, and the family reluctantly agrees to testify against him for the government. After Nick's father, mobster Papa Delgado, sends his other son Frank to silence the Dayes, the FBI assigns Charlie Mitchell, a grizzled and unlucky veteran agent, to protect them until the trial.
