Description
The life of a mobster was Henry Hill's ultimate ambition. At just twelve years old, he had his sights set on becoming a wiseguy, with all its attendant power and prestige. For Hill, being part of the mob meant living life on his own terms - and that often involved violence, reckless spending, and multiple relationships. As a made man, Hill's days were filled with crime and excess. He knew where many bodies were buried, and he had a front-row seat to some of the most notorious crimes in American history. But when he turned informant to save his own life, Hill became embroiled in a world of danger and deception. The true story behind GoodFellas is one of brutal honesty, revealing the darker side of the mob's code of honour and the consequences of Hill's betrayal.
