Summary Patrol officer Joe O'Brien is third-generation Irish in Charlestown. A tough cop with a soft interior, a loving wife and four adult children, Joe is diagnosed with Huntington's disease. As Joe's symptoms worsen and he's eventually stripped of his badge and more, Joe struggles to maintain hope and a sense of purpose, while his daughter Katie and her siblings must find the courage to either live a life "at risk" or learn their fate.
"Joe OBrien es un policia de cuarenta y cuatro anos del barrio catolico de Charlestown, Massachusetts. Esposo devoto, padre orgulloso de cuatro hijos en la veintena, y oficial respetado, Joe empieza a experimentar ataques en los que su pensamiento se desorganiza, sufre arranques de colera y extranos movimientos involuntarios. Al comienzo, atribuye estos episodios al estres laboral, pero a medida que los sintomas van empeorando acepta ver a un neurologo. El diagnostico enfermedad de Huntington, tambien conocida como corea o mal de San Vito cambiara su vida y la de su familia para siempre." - Amazon
