Under Hellgate Bridge Synopsis

In his directorial debut, Michael Sergio reveals the mean streets that run beneath NYC's Hellgate Bridge. In a world where money, guns and drugs are a way of life, two old enemies, Ryan (Rodrick) and Vincent (LaPaglia) confront each other in a battle for love and power.

Returning to Astoria, Queens, after being falsely imprisoned, Ryan is drawn to ex-girlfriend Carla (Bayne) who is now married to the small time mobster Vincent. As the secrets that all have kept hidden begin to resurface, Ryan again finds himself in a world that he has desperately tried to avoid.

Confronted with the reality that he is about to lose everything and seeking redemption for his past actions, Ryan turns to the local Priest(Chianese). In a neighborhood where a bridge symbolizes death, escape and renewal, Ryan learns that "sometimes we must all choose between the lesser of two evils."
