Anthony “Tony” Costa grew up admiring his Uncle
Dom—a made member of the New England mafia— so when Dom asks him to collect
gambling debts from around the neighborhood, Tony is happy to help. Even after
his uncle gets thrown in jail, he does his nephew a good turn from behind bars,
getting him a job as a longshoreman on the Boston waterfront. The year is 1958,
and Tony is only eighteen. His new job quickly teaches him what it will take to
survive on the docks.
Tony and his violent new friend Butchie Shea soon
carve out a life for themselves on the pier. But when Butchie convinces him to
take desperate, brutal action against an adversary, Tony realizes just how
badly his criminal lifestyle has tainted him. He vows to go straight and focus
on his wife and family—but old habits die hard, and the opportunity of a
lifetime yanks Tony back in. The job could lead to big rewards, but Tony might
not see just how risky it is until it’s too late.
