You Kill Me

Frank Falenczyk is a hitman for a Polish mob family in Buffalo, New York, grappling with his drinking problem. His addiction not only jeopardizes his career but also puts his family's operations at risk, leading to a series of chaotic circumstances.

After a significant blunder allows Eddie O'Leary to escape, chaos ensues in the local Chinese community. This incident heightens the pressure on Frank and his mob family, causing his uncle Roman to intervene.

In response to the escalating situation, Frank's uncle Roman sends him to San Francisco to attend a 12-step recovery program. This marks a pivotal point in Frank's life, signifying his need to escape his destructive lifestyle.

Upon arriving in San Francisco, Frank attends an AA meeting, hoping for support but meeting only indifference. Disillusioned, he leaves, feeling more isolated and uncertain about his journey to sobriety.

Frank is coerced into working at a local funeral home by Roman's associate, Dave. Here, he meets Laurel Pearson, who is dealing with her stepfather's loss, leading to an unexpected connection between them.

As Frank and Laurel's relationship develops, Frank faces a challenge regarding his loyalty to his mob family and his growing affection for her. His sponsor warns him that his desire for love may complicate his recovery.

Back in Buffalo, Frank's cousin Stef seeks help as an aggressive Irish gang threatens their snow-plowing business. This prompts Stef to reach out for Frank’s support during a tumultuous time.

An Irish family chooses Frank's funeral home for a wake, testing his commitment to sobriety. The familiar atmosphere of drinking and camaraderie draws him into reckless decisions, jeopardizing his relationship with Laurel.

In a moment of weakness, Frank succumbs to temptation and relapses after crashing Laurel's car and missing an important dinner date. Alone in the rain, he confronts the reality of his addiction once again.

With dawn approaching, Frank opens up to Laurel about his relapse. He bravely takes her to an AA meeting where he shares his past as a hitman, finding unexpected support from the group.

As their relationship deepens, Laurel becomes increasingly curious about Frank's dangerous career. Frank chooses to reveal his past cases, attempting to make amends with the families he affected while intoxicated.

When a building inspector threatens to demolish a property, Frank, encouraged by Laurel, steps up to confront Supervisor Davis. His persuasive argument successfully saves the building, marking a significant achievement in his recovery journey.

Despite his success, Frank feels a sense of isolation when Laurel decides not to stay with him. Vulnerable and lonely, he visits a bar where he faces criticism from Dave, prompting feelings of self-doubt.

Back in Buffalo, tragedy hits when Frank's uncle and two family members are killed by a rival gang. Consumed by grief and anger, Frank decides to return to Buffalo for revenge, feeling a renewed sense of purpose.

With Laurel's support, Frank faces the gang and ultimately finds closure by confronting O'Leary. One year later, he celebrates his sobriety surrounded by friends at an AA meeting, finally embracing the redemption he has sought.
