Description
A true story of friendship, loyalty, and the devastating consequences of violence, set against the gritty backdrop of New York City's Hell's Kitchen. Four lifelong friends, content with playing pranks, find their lives forever changed when a harmless scheme goes terribly wrong, leading to a year's imprisonment in the Wilkinson Home for Boys. The boys' experiences in the home have a lasting impact, shaping their futures in different ways. One becomes a lawyer, while another rises to become a hitman for-hire. Yet, the legacy of Wilkinson - pain, fear, and anger - continues to haunt them. Their quest for revenge becomes an all-consuming force, threatening to destroy them if they are caught. This is a powerful and unflinching account of the consequences of violence and the corrupt system that fails to protect its most vulnerable citizens.
