Synopsis

Fingers cuts to the core. Harvey Keitel embodies Jimmy Angelelli--would be concert pianist, collector for his gangster father, Ben and frustrated romantic. Jimmy is enticed by Carol who in turn is enthralled by Dreems--an African-American playboy, gangster and master manipulator. Threats to his father's life drive Jimmy to ultimate acts even as his splintered self plays out his musical and erotic needs.
