The electrifying and epic story of one Irish-American family, a city under siege, and the long shadow cast by the most infamous killer of his day...Boston, 1963. A city on the edge. The Boston Strangler has already claimed a dozen victims.For the three Daley brothers, crime is very much the family business but the Strangler's murderous spree is about to bring violent death a lot closer to home:Joe - tough-talking cop whose gambling habits - fast women, slow horses - drag him down into the city's gangland.Michael - Harvard-educated lawyer, tasked to bring the Strangler to justice.Ricky - expert burglar and the devil-may-care youngest son who is used to leading a charmed life.When the Strangler strikes, they will all be forced to look into their family's own lethal secrets and the one death in the past that has changed them forever...
