Description

For four childhood friends in Hell's Kitchen, a single afternoon prank gone wrong doesn't just end their innocence—it lands them in the Wilkinson Home for Boys. There, under the shadow of a sadistic guard, they endure a nightmare of systemic abuse that bonds them in a brotherhood of shared trauma and silence.

Fifteen years later, a chance encounter in a pub offers a bloody shot at revenge. As a high-stakes trial forces their dark past into the light, a lawyer and a priest must navigate a moral gray zone to protect their friends, proving that while time can bury a secret, it can never quite kill the need for justice.
