Aus dem Klappentext

y in the boomtown '80s, where fortunes are made with the drop of a dime. The lucrative construction rackets are in the hands of the Irish mob, sparking the envy of the Mafia, the attention of the feds, and all-out war.

Two brothers are caught in the cross fire.

As greed and hatred fuel the fight that is blazing in the streets, honor and loyalty will be put to the ultimate test.
