Résumé

Southern Brooklyn, July 1996. Fire hydrants spray water onto the sizzling blacktop. Punk kids have to make their own fun. Bobby Santovasco and his pal Zeke like to throw rocks at cars getting off the Belt Parkway. They think it's harmless, until it's too late to think otherwise. Then there's Jack Cornacchia, a widower who lives with his teenage daughter Amelia and reads meters for Con Ed but also has a secret life, righting neighbourhood wrongs through acts of violence.
A simple mission to strong-arm a Bay Ridge con man, Max Berry, leads him to cross paths with a tragedy that hits close to home. Fast forward five years to June 2001. Charlie French is a low-level gangster-wannabe, trying to make a name for himself. When he stumbles onto a bowling alley locker stuffed with a bag full of cash, he brings it to his only pal, Max Berry, for safekeeping. Bobby Santovasco - with no real future and the big sin of his past shining brightly in his rearview mirror - has taken a job as an errand boy for Max Berry.
On a recruiting run for Max's Ponzi scheme, Bobby meets Francesca Clarke, born in the neighbourhood but an outsider nonetheless. They hit it off. Bobby decides to knock off Max's safe so he and Francesca can escape Brooklyn forever. Little does he know what Charlie French has stashed there. Meanwhile, Bobby's former stepsister, Lily Murphy, is back home in the neighbourhood, teaching a writing class in the basement of St Mary's church.
She's also being stalked by her college boyfriend. One of her students is Jack Cornacchia. When she opens up to him about her stalker, Jack takes matters into his own hands.
