You just know there's something 'not quite right' about wheelchair-bound ten-year-old Michael Harrington when you first meet him inside the Meadowfield Hospital for the Insane. But the twists and revelations that follow unravel a surprising tale of despicable behaviour and depravity in the tradition of the best Hitchcockian psychological thrillers.
Set in present day South Boston and the early 1960s,when Irish gangs ruled the streets, it's a story of awakening, redemption, loyalty, undying love, crazy friendships, forgiveness and survival against all odds.
