Spoilers ahead
In 1960s Brooklyn, Shorty — a tiny, lonely figure who performs as a sideshow act on Coney Island — navigates a world that treats him as little more than a spectacle. He endures constant abuse from carnival customers and staff, his days defined by isolation, fear, and the ache of being unseen. One night, he discovers his mother, a fortune teller, in a compromising moment with a clown; in a rage-fueled act of desperation, Shorty brutally murders them both, a deed that immediately pulls the mafia into his orbit and changes everything that follows.
