Jimmy Marcus, Sean Devine, and Dave Boyle have been friends right from when they were kids. Dave was the youngest of
the three friends. Jimmy Marcus'
father and Sean Devine's father were friends too, they worked together and usually had beer together. Dave's father had left him and his mother alone, so he lived with his mother alone.
Jimmy had been a notorious boy right from time. He steals and bullied other student in school. Sean had also imitated these Jimmy's bad characters.
One day, after the three kids had finished their rough play in a railway tunnel, they were accompanying Sean to his house. Then they saw a car, which its owner forgot her car key in the car. Jimmy brought the idea for them to steal the car and cruise around the
street with it, but Dave was against it. So they started fighting themselves on the street. Then a car came with two men dressing like a cop in the car and the took Dave away.
On the fourth day, he was brought home and he told every one that he escaped from the kidnappers. His return was celebrated elaborately on the street of his house.
Jimmy was an intelligent robber, he led his first crew of robbers at the age of 17. He had his first daughter Katherine when he was 19. His first wife gave birth to Katie, died of skin cancer while he was in prison. His second wife Annabeth had two daughters for him; Sarah and Nadine. Annabeth's first cousin; Celeste was Dave Boyle's wife and she had a son for him named Michael.
Sean, who became a cop, had a wife named Lauren, who was a stage manager. They were apart for sometime due to Sean's complain over her affair with one of her crew member. She had a daughter for him named Nora.
Katie was murdered on the day of her sister, Nadine first communion. Two kids called the 911 emergency and reported her death. When the police got to the scene, her body was found curled in a corner, bath with blood. She had been hit with something at the back of her head and she had also been shot. When Jimmy got to the scene, he was angry. Sean, his childhood friend and Whitey Power, were the ones in charge of the case. And it happened that Sean just resumed office from his two weeks probation.
Dave came back that same day, from the same place, and around the same time Katie was murder with someone else's blood. He was too secretive that he did not tell anyone the true story of how he bruised his thumb and whose blood he came home with on Sunday morning not even his wife.
During Sean and Whiteys investigation, they question Katie's boyfriend, Brendan Harris. Brendan Harris and even Jimmy suspect that Bobby O'Donell her former boy friend was responsible for death. It was later they discovered that Bobby had been arrested a day before.
