Wes is fresh out of prison, and the anger is boiling out of him like radiation out of a nuclear reactor. Brother Joe is a nice kid, except he idolizes Wes.
On a dark night they interrupt a robbery, but instead of breaking it up, they take over. They have begun a series of violent steps down an evil path.
Complicating the matter is their mother, Essie, who preaches her religion on them, hoping they will see the light. Also, Joe is falling in love with a girl at school, and this confuses him.
Step by step, violent act by violent act, the brothers up their game. The goal is to get enough money to buy an island in the Caribbean, to get away from the rigid rules of society.
This is the dark, gritty story of two men gone bad. Based on the tale of the two brothers who committed the Boston bombing, this tale is not gentle.The language is rough and the situations are violent. It tells it like it is and lets the cards fall where they may.
