Ray Boy Calabrese is
released from prison 16 years after his actions led to the death of a
young man. The victim's brother, Conway D'Innocenzio, is a 29-year-old
Brooklynite wasting away at a local Rite Aid, stuck in the past and
still howling for Ray Boy's blood. When the chips are down and the gun
is drawn, Conway finds that he doesn't have murder in him. Thus begins a
spiral of self-loathing and soul-searching into which he is joined by
Alessandra, a failed actress caring for her widowed father, and Eugene,
Ray Boy's hellbound nephew. Ray Boy Calabrese is back in Gravesend: some
people worship him, some want him dead . . . but none more so than the
ex-con himself.
