It is 1962, and young Jimmy Keating is at a crossroads. He is the star pitcher of his high school baseball team, and is being scouted by the majors. At the same time, his washed up brother turned Irish mobster, Jack, is at odds with local gang boss, Michael O'Grady, and wants Jimmy to join his campaign. In a world where family values are as important as family tradition, and family tradition is both a blessing and a curse, a young man struggles to reach his dreams, and avoid being trapped in the fiery streets of Hell's Kitchen.
