The gangster drama The Many Saints of Newark tells the story of a young criminal's rise to notoriety. It is a prequel to The Sopranos TV series. In 1967, a young Tony Soprano travels with his mentor, Dickie Moltisanti, to welcome home Dickie's father, "Hollywood Dick" Moltisanti, and his new Italian bride, Giuseppina. Moltisanti is a soldier in the DiMeo crime family, which also consists of Johnny Soprano and his brother Junior, Silvio Dante, Paulie Walnuts, Pussy Bonpensiero, and "Buddha", Pussy Bonpensiero's father. After a black taxi driver is assaulted by white police officers, riots break out in Newark. One of Dickie's black associates, Harold McBrayer, begins to take part in the riots. Harold kills a man stealing from their business, forcing him to flee to North Carolina. Before leaving, he gets $500 (equivalent to $3,881 in 2020) from Dickie as a gift.
