Il film si divide in due parti molto definite: l'adolescenza e la maturità di quattro amici, Lorenzo Carcaterra, chiamato "Shakes", Michael Sullivan, John Reilly e Tommy Marcano che vivono ad Hell's Kitchen, una zona all'epoca malfamata di New York, sita nella Midtown West di Manhattan e, temporalmente, tra la metà degli anni sessanta e l'inizio degli anni ottanta.
