The Ice Cream Con
When Jake Drake gets mugged twice in ten minutes, he comes up with a plan to con the criminals on his estate. With the help of his closest pals, he starts a rumour about a new gangster in town – the Big Baresi, the biggest, gangster that never was. The con works, but not for long, as events start snow-balling out of control.
