“Freddie Jackson thinks he owns the underworld when he gets out of prison.  He’s done his time, made the right connections and now he’s ready to use them.  His wife Jackie just wants her husband home, but she’s forgotten the rows, the violence, and the girls Freddie can’t leave alone.  Bitter, resentful, and increasingly unstable, Jackie watches her life crumble while her little sister Maggie’s star rises.  In love with Freddie’s cousin Jimmy, Maggie is determined not to end up like her sister.”
