Pistone, agente del FBI si infiltra in un'organizzazione mafiosa di Little Italy come Donnie Brasco, ricettatore di gioielli, e conquista la fiducia di Lefty, anziano mafioso e manovale del crimine. Tra i due nasce un'amicizia, fatta di rispetto e di stima ma anche di affinità caratteriali. Un'amicizia impossibile, destinata a una tragica fine.
