Plot

Four retired mobsters: Bobby - the no-nonsense leader, Bats - a cantankerous man with a short fuse and a pacemaker, Mouth - a silent ladies' man many years past his prime, and Brick - a man who still sends Christmas cards to everyone he has ever worked with, are worried they will no longer be able to afford their South Beach apartment when rents go up due to it becoming a hot spot for young affluent couples. The four plan to stage a murder in the lobby of their building, hoping to make the apartment building undesirable to new tenants, and steal a corpse from the mortuary to use as the "victim." Unknown to them, the body is that of Luis Ventanna, the senile father of Raoul Ventanna, head of a Colombian drug smuggling ring. As a result of the "murder," many of the young renters leave and the four men are given cash and a rent discount by the complex to keep living there.
