520    In the early 1960's a bloody civil war broke out between 
       the two powerful Irish Mob families in the Somerville 
       Massachusetts neighborhood known as Winter Hill. Over 
       sixty men were murdered, including the leader of the 
       Winter Hill Gang, James "Buddy" McLean. The leadership of 
       one of the most influential non-Italian crime 
       organizations in the United States was inherited by his 
       childhood friend, Howard T. "Howie" Winter. The events 
       during Winter's tenure offer a true picture of an era in 
       Boston's pre-Whitey Bulger history when the streets were 
       protected by a close-knit group of Irish-Italian 
       "businessmen." After decades of silence, three strong and 
       very different females lift the Mob veil and voice their 
       own struggle to survive in Somerville's criminal circle. 
       This is a microscopic view of a generation struggling to 
       walk the moral tightrope between societal decency and the 
       loyalty of criminality.
