Synopsis

Boston, 1969. Frank Callahan is a respected enforcer—a family man on the surface, a violent man beneath. Sean O’Connell is the man he can’t walk away from. Susan Callahan is the wife who’s known the truth all along. And Paul Callahan, their son, is the only thing keeping Frank from slipping completely into the dark.

As the new decade approaches, Frank and Sean plan one last heist—a ticket out of Boston, out of the life that’s strangling them. But Susan, tired of watching Frank’s lies consume him, makes her own deal with the devil—Liam Donnelly, the Irish mob boss who controls South Boston. The heist becomes a bloodbath. Paul is caught in the crossfire. Frank and Sean’s world collapses in an instant.

In the wreckage, Frank dies in Sean’s arms. “You shoulda taken the train,” he says, before the life drains from his body. Sean, bloodied but alive, disappears into the night. Susan gets everything she wanted—but at a price she never expected.

Years later, in 1992, Sean stands over the graves of Frank, Susan, Paul, and Liam. He survived. He outlived them all. But survival is a curse, not a victory.

Then—2025. Sean O’Connell is a king in exile, a man who buried his past but never forgot it. A phone call pulls him back in. One last job. One last reckoning. SEAN (low, final): “One less egg to fry.” "Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out" – Eric Clapton (Acoustic 1992).
