During the war, Joey coordinates a smuggling empire. He uses the contacts he has built with olive oil and cured-meat exporters in Italy without implicating himself and creates a network from Brindisi to Red Hook. For a price, Jewish families, Catholics, and homosexuals are transported among wheels of parmigiana and Chianti. If they can pay more, he arranges for passports, false histories, and the references they need to rent apartments.
