The Winter of Frankie Machine

Frank Machianno, a seemingly ordinary late-middle-aged ex-surf bum, leads a quiet life running a bait shack on the San Diego waterfront, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and being a devoted father. However, beneath this unassuming exterior lies a dangerous past: he was once Frankie Machine, one of the West Coast mob's most feared hitmen. Years ago, Frank painstakingly severed his ties to the criminal underworld, hoping to leave the violence and betrayal behind him forever. But when a local mob boss calls in an unrefusable favor, Frank finds himself inexorably drawn back into the treacherous currents of his former life. This one 'simple' favor quickly unravels into a life-threatening mystery: someone from his past wants him dead. With time running out, Frank must navigate the labyrinthine world he thought he'd escaped, racing against the clock to identify his would-be killer from a vast list of old enemies and former associates. The winter of Frankie Machine has arrived, forcing him to confront the ghosts of his violent history and fight for his survival.
