The Freshman

Clark Kellogg, a young New York film student, is robbed of his belongings and meets a mobster named Victor Ray, who bears a striking resemblance to Marlon Brando's iconic character in The Godfather. Clark soon finds himself entangled in a caper involving endangered species and fine dining, tasked with delivering a Komodo dragon for a high-stakes dinner party at the Fabulous Gourmet Club. Clark's NYU roommate Steve Bushak assists him in picking up the lizard, while Clark also meets Carmine Sabatini, the club's enigmatic and ruthless leader, who becomes Clark's unlikely mentor. As Clark navigates the world of organized crime, he must also confront his own inexperience and the corrupt agents who are hot on his heels.
