Ash Wednesday is a 2002 drama film starring Edward Burns, Elijah Wood, and Rosario Dawson. The film is set in the Hell's Kitchen of the early 1980s and is about a pair of Irish-American brothers who become embroiled in a conflict with the Irish Mob.

Plot

Hell's Kitchen on Ash Wednesday, 1983. Rumors are flying that Francis Sullivan's (Edward Burns) younger brother Sean (Elijah Wood), dead for three years, has reappeared. If he wasn't killed by rivals, then old scores still need settling, putting Fran (Edward Burns) and Sean in danger. An upstart is pressuring the local mob boss, who's Fran's protector; Sean's wife, Grace (Rosario Dawson), an Afro-Latino, believes she's a widow, has gotten on with her life, but Sean has come back for her. The parish priest, part of the initial deception, is frightened. Bad guys with guns are closing in. Can Fran get Sean and his wife out of the city, avoid a war between rival factions, and hold onto new-found morality? Will the cross of ashes on his forehead protect him?
