Introduction

Rico floats through the world, selling homemade cocktails and flirting with girls on the beaches of the Bronx, much to the chagrin of his mother and sister. When he becomes an expectant father, Rico must finally get his life together. But is he really capable? Shot in a visually striking, off-kilter style, Mad Bills is a fresh spin on the coming-of-age drama.
