Monster Hill

It's the early sixties and the wife of Henry Sommers the leader of the notorious Winter Hill Gang is brutally murdered in her Boston hospital room resulting in a gangland war lasting over thirty years and throwing a close-knit Irish family into a whirlpool of violence deceit and heartbreak. On Monster Hill Henry's first reaction is to launch wholesale revenge against the man responsible for his wife's murder. But his somewhat level-headed lieutenant Sammy Cunningham convinces him getting even that way will only make things worse for him. Henry finally acquiesces. The problem is he's already unleashed the northeast's most ruthless enforcer Jay O'Malley who'd do anything to please his boss and after discovering Sammy's begun an affair with his seventeen-year-old sister Claire to hurt Sammy.
