Set in New York City, a case of mistaken identity lands Slevin (Josh Hartnett) in the middle of a 
war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses: The Rabbi (Ben Kingsley) and The 
Boss (Morgan Freeman). Slevin is under constant surveillance by relentless Detective Brikowski 
(Stanley Tucci) as well as the infamous assassin Goodkat (Bruce Willis) and finds himself having 
to hatch his own ingenious plot to get them...before they get him.

After landing in the wrong place at the wrong time, Slevin must kill The Rabbi's to scratch a 
$96,000 debt to The Boss and pay off $33,000 to The Rabbi. He can't go to the police and he can't 
leave the city. On top of all this, behind the scene's Mr. Smith aka Mr. Goodkat is secretly plotting 
to kill Slevin.

In an airport waiting room, a man in a wheelchair tells a stranger a story about a fixed horse race 
in 1979 that resulted in a family's deaths. In Manhattan, two bookies and the son of a Mob boss die. 
A young man just out of the shower answers the door to a neighbor woman and explains that he's 
visiting, has had a bad week, including being mugged, and doesn't know where his pal, who lives 
there, is. The neighbor is chatty; she's a coroner. Two thugs arrive and, believing the visitor to 
be the guy who lives there, take him to see the boss with the dead son, who tells him to kill the son 
of his Mob rival. Mistaken identity? What connects the threads? Cops are watching.

==========

In New York, when the unlucky newcomer Slevin arrives in the apartment of his friend Nick Fisher for 
a leisure time, he is mistakenly taken as being his friend, who owes money to two powerful bosses of 
the criminal world. He is pressed by The Boss to kill the gay son of The Rabbi, as a payback for the 
death of The Boss's son. Nick's next door neighbor Lindsay, who works in the morgue, tries to help 
Slevin and they fall in love for each other. Meanwhile, the cold-blood killer Mr. Goodkat is 
mysteriously helping both crime lords, while Slevin is also pressed by Detective Brikowski, who is 
chasing The Boss and The Rabbi. In the end, revenge is a dish best served cold.
