More About A Brooklyn Love Story …

Fiercely loyal to family, friends and his Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, neighborhood, affable Mike Moona helps run a three-generation fruit and vegetable store, The Golden Gate, owned by his father, lovingly known to the neighborhood as “Pops.”

However, Borough President Gregory McGuire and a hotshot developer are determined to force the family to sell their land in a greedy bid to gentrify the neighborhood. Making matters worse, Mike and Gregory have a contentious past dating back to high school.

A handsome widower, Mike’s also lonely and trying to get his groove back. When he meets Honey Caputo, he’s instantly smitten … But Honey works for the man plotting to end the family’s legacy business. While love blossoms despite the odds, things begin to look grim for the store.

When Little Tony Butchie, the not-so-threatening neighborhood hood, hears about the dilemma, he and his ragtag crew—who love Pops—make things uncomfortable, concocting a crazy plan to save the day.

Logline:
The beloved, longtime owner of a family run Brooklyn grocery is pressured to sell in a greedy bid to gentrify the neighborhood … until a lovable, local mobster concocts a crazy plan to save the day.
