Roscoe (2015)

SYNOPSIS

Roscoe Conway, after many years at the helm of Albany, New York's notorious political machine, resolves to call it a day and quit politics. But a mysterious suicide message from his best friend Elisha throws him headlong back into a world of gangsters, whorehouses, cockfights, courtrooms, ghosts, and his bygone love for Veronica, Elisha’s widow. Based on the novel of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Kennedy, ROSCOE is an American grand opera for the ages.
