"Patrick \"Tucker\" Finney, the patriarch of a criminal family, is murdered. His son Tom, a compulsive gambler and drug addict, and Bobo Simpson, a local businessman and head of a rival crime family, are among the suspects. Tucker's eldest son, Steven, having escaped the powerful, violent world in which his family operate, returns home following the murder, but his siblings are astounded by his lack of empathy. As a sick joke, Tucker leaves Steven a derelict cinema in his will which sits slap bang in the middle of Simpson territory. Determined to open his own jazz club, Steven tries to turn his back on the family crime business, and finally pull his life together. Meanwhile, his older sister Lena, who has inherited both Tucker's shady empire and his hard personality, decides to find out who murdered her father."@en . . . . . . . "David Hayman"@en . .
