"Homicide cop Tom McMichael is on the rotation when an 84-
year-old city patriarch named Pete Braga is found
bludgeoned to death. Not good news, especially since the
Irish McMichaels and the Portuguese Bragas share a violent
family history dating back three generations. Years ago
Braga shot McMichael's grandfather in a dispute over a
paycheck; soon thereafter Braga's son was severely beaten
behind a waterfront bar - legend has it that it was an act
of revenge by McMichael's father." McMichael must put
aside the old family blood feud and find the truth about
Pete Braga's death. Braga's beautiful nurse is a suspect.
She claims - conveniently - to have stepped out for
firewood at the time of the murder, but key evidence
suggests otherwise. The investigation soon expands to
include Braga's business, his family, the Catholic
diocese, a multimillion-dollar Indian casino, a
prostitute, a cop, and, of course, the McMichael family.
