The Iceman

Is a dramatization of close to a quarter century in the life of Richard Kuklinski from the early-1960s to the mid-1980s. While working dubbing porno films for a mob-backed company, he is hired by mob boss Roy DeMeo, in having passed a test, to be an in-house hitman. Even before the test for this job for which DeMeo had no idea if he would have the aptitude, Kuklinski had a violent tendency stemming from his growing up, albeit he drawing the line on violence against innocent women and children. In a issue with DeMeo and without his knowledge, Kuklinski, in a need for money, ends up working in conjunction with Mr. Freezy, another of DeMeo's contracted hitmen. Through it all, Kuklinski is able to hide his hitman life from his wife Deborah and their two daughters, although he does on occasion unwittingly demonstrate in front of them his violent tendencies toward others, and places their lives in jeopardy without their knowledge because of the work.
