Fresh Kills tells a gripping coming-of-age story about two very different sisters in a close-knit Staten Island mob family. Jennifer Esposito writes, directs, and stars as Francine Larusso, mother to the quiet Rose (Emily Bader) and her formidable older sister Connie (Odessa A'zion). Domenick Lombardozzi (Reacher, The Wire) co-stars as Joe, Francine's gangster boss husband and the girls' father. Annabella Sciorra (The Sopranos, Tulsa King) plays his sister, Christine, who turns a blind eye to her brother's ruthless activities.

The film brilliantly focuses on women trapped in a situation with nowhere to turn. Lombardozzi and Sciorra credit Esposito's skill in working with the younger cast. The native New Yorkers humorously admit they really never went to Staten Island before filming because they "had no reason" to except for an easier DMV.
