Clyde Rosser
A young solo mother loves her son and his needs are formost, but she still has room in her heart for her very broken brother, even as her fundamentalist mother rejects her. But when the brother is responsible for a woman's broken neck, during his burglary of her house, families are changed as crisis amplifies and at times the young mother seems to be the only adult.

Sayo and Keiji have eloped to New Zealand to marry, away from the interference of Keiji's disapproving mother in Japan. On their honeymoon, they have the freedom to express their love away from her repressive influence. However, on what should be the happiest of days, Keiji is drowned and Sayo must, by custom, return to live with her cruel and selfish mother-in-law.
Assistant
Washington, 1960. Na sala de audiências do Senado o subcomitê do crime organizado está reunido. Seu principal alvo no momento é Sam Giancana (John Turturro), um gângster que cada vez mais aumenta o seu poder. Segundo alguns, este chefão de Chicago tem o controle de boa parte de Las Vegas e é o maior mafioso do país. Após não responder nenhuma pergunta, recorrendo sempre à 5ª Emenda - me recuso a responder, pois acredito que a resposta pode me incriminar -, Sam vai para Las Vegas e assiste um show com as Irmãs McGuire, Phyllis (Mary-Louise Parker), Dorothy (Larissa Laskin) e Christine (Deborah Duchene). Giancana fica fascinado com a beleza de Phyllis, que de início o rejeita. Os valiosos presentes que dá para Phyllis, além de alegar ter conexões com políticos e artistas famosos, fazem com que ela fique envolvida com Giancana, o que põe em risco sua carreira e a das suas irmãs.
