Synopsis

To four boys growing up on the streets in the mid 1960s, Hell’s Kitchen was a place of innocence ruled by corruption. The children who grew up there shared joyful times, but subscribed to a sacred social code: crimes against the... See more neighborhood were not permitted. And when they did occur, punishment was severe. A decade and a half later, nothing can erase their painful memories, but the lessons of Hell’s Kitchen allow them to even the score of the terrible hand that Fate had dealt them. In their shocking retaliation, they are daringly aided by a neighborhood priest and an aging, shadowy mob figure, both of whom have known the quartet since their childhoods.

Nothing can change the past. But the code of the past — and those who were expected to uphold it — can reach through the years to bring justice and closure to the present.
