Udo liegt im ständigen Clinch mit seinem Vater Louis, dem Besitzer des Restaurants, der zur Zeit um seinen ermordeten Partner trauert. Etwas ist anders an diesem Abend. Am Ende dieser hitzigen Nacht kulminieren die Gänge des Menüs im einzig möglichen, bittersüßen Dessert. Eiskalt serviert."
Is it just another evening at the hugely popular Italian restaurant of proprietor and bookmaker Louis Cropa in New York? Anything but as tonight's guests include; a local police detective and his wife specially invited by the owner; on the balcony rival bookmaker gangsters from Queens who want to become partners in the restaurant; in the corner renowned food critic 'the food nymph' is her usual demanding self; and at the bar, seemingly unnoticed, is Ken. As the evening continues enter Duncan, inveterate gambler and sous-chef on-the-line in the frenetic kitchen downstairs, who acts as the catalyst that causes the evening to draw to its inevitable, explosive, deadly conclusion.
