It’s 1928 in the Horseshoe slum of Jersey City, NJ and “No Irish Need Apply”.
Hungry to escape his low status, Teddy Devlin aligns himself with the city’s most infamous political boss, Mayor Frank Hague.
While proud to be a part of the machine that empowers the Irish, Teddy struggles to accept the damage that it does to others.
It’s the American way, but is it the right way?
