Publisher's Synopsis
Brooklyn Looper tells the story of two high school kids in the mid 90s. Frankie Morelli and Eddie Mullaney are born on the same day in two different parts of New York City. Frankie Morelli, born the son of a degenerate gambler and part-time dad, falls into a life of bookmaking and deceit, looking up to Mafia figures as heroes, falling in love with their wayward lifestyle. His pal, Eddie Mullaney, spends most of his time trying to please his father, honing his basketball skills and caddying at a golf course. He admires the successful, business-savvy members at the club and when he's not busy practicing basketball, he's hustling as much as he can, carrying golf bags. When Frankie, a larger than life teen gangster, crosses paths with Eddie, everybody's All-American, a situation will arise that will bring their friendship to another level. Brooklyn Looper is a strange combination of temptation and loyalty, where Morelli does everything he can to test the guts of Mullaney.
