When the boss of Boston's Irish mob abruptly skips town to escape a federal indictment, a low-level gangster gathers a group of petty crooks to seize control of the streets.

Boston's underworld turns into a chaotic free-for-all when the Irish mob's leadership vanishes overnight. A band of small-time criminals attempts to climb the ladder of power, triggering a violent scramble for the city's streets.
