A Martin Scorcese film that tracks the epic rivalry of two door-to-door Mary Kay Cosmetics sales ladies across the boroughs of NYC. The women, both stay-at-home wives of Mafia connected “contractors,” began as friends raising their respective families in the same area of Staten Island. After their grown children leave home they decide to join the Mary Kay sales team to combat their empty nest syndrome. The rivalry starts as they are pitted against each other on their mutual turf and escalates as they spread out into the surrounding neighborhoods. The families of the women get involved in the clash which leads to schisms in the Mafia family. A local District Attorney uses the distractions and family infighting to his advantage to help bring down a previously unstoppable gangster kingpin. - for Ariel A. LISTEN
