 Mob boss Paul Vitti (Robert De
Niro) is nearing the end of his term in Sing Sing, and the FBI
agents monitoring him are baffled. Day after day they watch as
New York's most notorious gangland figure walks around his cell
in a semi-catatonic stupor, occasionally breaking into songs
from West Side Story. Is Vitti having a nervous breakdown because
of recent threats on his life by a rival Family or is his odd
behavior merely a foxy ploy to get him sprung from jail early?
The FBI isn't sure and neither is his former psychotherapist
Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal), who gets called in to consult on the
case. The last time Sobel treated Vitti he tried to get to the
source of his debilitating anxiety attacks, but barely scratched
the surface. It will take time to examine the demons still lurking
in Vitti's mind and help put him on the straight and narrow -
time that Sobel doesn't want to give. Not to Vitti. Not now.
Truth is, Sobel has problems of his own. His father has just
died, plunging him into an identity crisis in both his personal
and professional lives. Furthermore, he knows his wife Laura
(Lisa Kudrow) will be furious if he allows the unpredictable
Vitti back into their lives. But when Vitti is granted a conditional
release into Sobel's care and custody, becoming his patient again
and - even worse - his houseguest, the reluctant psychiatrist
finds that he has no choice. In order to get peace back in his
life he must help the troubled gangster sort out his psyche,
find gainful employment and go straight - which proves easier
said than done.
