 North Jersey mob boss, Tony Soprano, self-described "waste management consultant," reluctantly seeks a psychiatrist s help after blacking out. Lest he appear weak, he must keep his therapy a secret from the rest of the Mob. He s stressed: his teenage daughter is giving his wife fits; his mean-spirited mother refuses to move to a retirement community; his aging Uncle Junior, jealous of Tony s rise to the top, won t stay in line and engineers a plot to kill Tony; and the feds, armed with RICO, are circling. In therapy, Tony must come to terms with his father s example, his mother s manipulations, and his own fears of death and loss of family.
