Both Mikey Maguire and Liam O'Hara have fond memories of their shared childhood in South Boston. They may have grown up in the projects, but Mikey and Liam managed to find fun and adventure even in the direst of circumstances.
This talent will serve them well when they reconnect later in their teens. The two have taken very different paths in life. Mikey got involved with the wrong people. He racked up debts to a loan shark and now sees a life of crime as his only way out of the mess he's created.
Liam, on the other hand, was accepted to the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy and then Harvard University where he was recruited to play football.
When the two reconnect a few years later, they find that they still have a great deal in common. Liam has a plan to help Mikey get out of his debt once and for all.
Their target is the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum where Liam worked during the summers of his high school years. Will they be able to steal the artwork, free Mikey of his debt, rid South Boston of a corrupt FBI agent and the crime boss of South Boston?
