In America, kings are not born, they are made. Danny McCabe isn't his real name. America isn't his real home. Fleeing his native Ireland after committing a terrible crime, Danny finds friendship with Corsican immigrants, Nicky and Lucia Mariani. As Lucia pursues her dreams of stardom in 1930s Hollywood, Nicky finds his calling in the violent underbelly of the city of dreams. Torn between his love for Lucia and his desperate fear for their safety, Danny is drawn into a chain of events that will pit brother against sister, friend against friend, and lover against lover.
