Rocco and Jimmy are the lowest ranking members of the Italian mafia, and their eccentric boss always gives them the worst jobs; anything from picking up his dry-cleaning, to carrying out a hit on a rival boss's dog. "Unwise Guys" chronicles the ridiculous and often hilarious escapades of two gangsters with unique (and sometimes warped) perspectives on the world, their work, and life in general.
