BROKEN IRISH delivers a captivating portrait of 1990s South Boston at the crossroads of the millennium--a place where little distinguishes mob bosses from pillars of industry, the bullied from the bullies, and the pious from the pitiful. In this tough Boston neighborhood, six lives are about to converge on a time when "Whitey Bulger has evaporated into the ether but his boys still kick around on the street corners...waiting for Whitey's Second Coming."
