Paul Witty is a notorious underworld boss who acts fiercely and kills people like hell. One day, while meeting with Dad’s best friend Dominic, a force suddenly came to kill the two of them, and Paul survived. Paul began to frantically search for the gang who killed Dominic. He found that he needed a psychiatrist because Dominic recalled his father.

Paul's father once cooperated with a mafia. Decades ago, the mafia bosses had a gathering. Both Dominic and Paul's father participated. At that time, they were chased by federal agents, and the two escaped wisely. Soon after, Father Paul was shot and killed while having dinner with his family in the restaurant.

Dr. Ben Sobel's life is not very smooth, he is a psychologist, skilled and willing to help patients, but his father always dominates himself. Dad cooperates with a psychiatrist. Not only that, he will publish books by himself. Recently, he is preparing to remarry. At the party, Dad is unwilling to attend. The doctor was also very annoyed. Just as the doctor was driving and talking to his son, he ran into the car of Jerry, Paul's subordinate to the Mafia in front, and Ben took the initiative to hand over the business card to Jerry.

By mistake, Paul just needed a psychiatrist, and Jerry recommended Ben to him. Once Paul and Ben came into contact, they were satisfied. Ben seemed to be a very good doctor. So Paul ordered Jerry to call Ben Lai himself here in two days. On the day Ben and Laura got married, Paul actually killed a person at the wedding hotel and jumped down from the 7th floor. All of a sudden, Ben’s wedding was messed up.

Ben was very angry, but he couldn't hold back Paul. As Ben's understanding of Paul deepened, he began to discover Paul's problem, that is, Paul felt guilty for his father's death that year, so Ben began to heal Paul, and gave Paul a snot and tears. At the Mafia conference, Paul was too sad to participate, and Jerry actually thought of letting a doctor replace Paul. After a funny performance, Paul arrived, and the two sides engaged in a fire union, and were captured by federal agents.

    The plot is a bit nonsensical, I believe that the plot of the psychiatrist in "Infernal Affairs" is copied from here
