Boston, 1926. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent police captain, turns away from his strict upbringing and moves from petty theft to working for the city's most dangerous gangsters. As he rises through the world of organized crime, he is drawn into a violent struggle for power where trust is rare and betrayal is common. Set against Prohibition-era Boston, Tampa, and Cuba, his path becomes a story of crime, revenge, love, and redemption.
