She believes Jimmy's death has ties to Carmine Perro, a local bookie and loan shark Jimmy owed money to. As Tom digs deeper, old neighborhood ties pull him into a dangerous web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Everyone has something to hide; Jimmy's gambling debts, Ann's complicated marriage, even the cop investigating the case.
