Synopsis
Before Harry, a dying mobster commits suicide, he decides to leave his abandoned children a suitcase full of money as a token of reconciliation. The only problem is that the money is stolen from the mob and he has to spend his last days hiding from mafia assasins -- a task made more pleasant by the beautiful and mysterious woman he meets and falls in love with as his health increasingly fails.
