Angela de Marco (Creator/MichellePfeiffer) is sick of being a [[TheMafia mafia]] wife; she's sick of [[FellOffTheBackOfATruck everything she owns being "hot,"]] she's sick of having to be friends with the other mobsters' wives, and she's sick of her misogynistic douchebag of a husband, Frank (Creator/AlecBaldwin). Then Frank is bumped off, and suddenly his boss, Tony "The Tiger" Russo (Creator/DeanStockwell) wants to get in her pants. And so, she takes her son and moves to the city, but Tony won't leave her alone, and neither will his psychotic wife. She does meet a nice guy named Mike Downey (Creator/MatthewModine), but he turns out to be working for the [[FBIAgent FBI]], who think Angela had something to do with her husband's death.
