"I've heard you paint houses" – in the language of the mafia means "I've heard you know how to kill people". The term "paint" refers to blood.. This is the rare case when mafia bosses acknowledged a book about themselves as truthful - a hitman of one of the "families" Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran recounted his life before his death. His stories were listened to with bated breath by experienced prosecutors and FBI agents. For the first time, a criminal of such caliber broke the "omertà" - the code of silence. . A delinquent youth during the Great Depression, the first scent of blood in World War II, an accidental entry into the closed world of the Italian-American mafia, from which it is costlier to exit than to enter – when you have to choose between your life and the life of your best friend. And all this in the legendary era of the 50s, when corrupt union leader Jimmy Hoffa owned billions and openly competed with the Kennedy brothers, who were fighting against the mafia. Why was President Kennedy killed and why did everyone lose because of it? Who was the prototype of the Godfather in the famous movie? And what led hardened killer Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran to come to a redeeming confession?"
