Oscar Isaac portrays Yonkers mayor Nick
Wasicsko, who took office in 1987 when
federal courts ordered that a small number
of low-income housing units be built in
the white area of his town. After he was
elected, he changed his position on the
issue, believing that he had no choice but
to comply. As a result, the city was torn
apart by racism, fear, and politics,
ultimately destroying the mayor's
political future.
