When Sam Krichinsky (Armin Mueller-Stahl) immigrates to America in 1914, he moves in with his Jewish brothers Gabriel (Lou Jacobi), Hymie (Leo Fuchs), and Nathan (Israel Rubinek). Sam and his brothers are manual laborers, and when Sam meets Eva (Joan Plowright), they fall in love and marry. Eva gives birth to Jules, and when Jules (Aidan Quinn) grows up, he does not want to follow his family as a manual laborer. Instead, Jules works as a door-to-door salesman and often takes his young son Michael (Elijah Wood) with him. After being stabbed by a mugger, Jules joins cousin Izzy (Kevin Pollak), and they open a TV store, which is far from the lifestyle of their older generation.
