Goose is a gambling addict. And his bounty hunting boss, Woolf? Woolf is locked up in county.

This ragtag team botches the kidnapping spectacularly, grabbing the wrong mark and leaving vital evidence at the scene. All the while, they can only seem to argue about trivialities as fate closes in on them.

Boston Irish cop Bill Coughlin contends with fierce social pressure from neighborhood crime boss McLaughlin and rampant bigotry within the police force after being assigned to protect black high school students bused into all-white South Boston High during the court-ordered forced integration of the Boston School System in 1974. The political and social fallout resulted in brutal violence and city-wide protests.
The film also is the story of Wendy Robinson, an 18-year-old black student, and her father Lamont, who both display immense bravery and moral fortitude. And the story of Kate, Bill's 17-year-old daughter, whose racism evaporates when she witnesses Wendy and Lamont's brave acts, as all three stories collide during that fateful first day of school.
