In the mid-1970s, both of these longtime friends take the reins of New York’s Irish mob, using brute power to give it hitherto unthinkable power. Jimmy, a charismatic sociopath, may be the innovator. Mickey, whose recollections of Vietnam torture him daily, is certainly his enforcer. Collectively they make brutality their trademark, butchering physiques or hurling them out the home window. Under their reign, Hell’s Kitchen becomes a location where death actually rains in the sky. But when Mickey goes down for any murder he didn’t commit, he suspects his friend provides marketed him out. He comes back the favour, breaking the underworld’s code of silence and testifying against his gang in open up court.
