Until one disastrous afternoon.When a harmless scheme goes terribly wrong,the boys are left facing a year's imprisonment in the Wilkinson Home for Boys,and the beatings and abuse they find there will change their lives forever.In the years that follow,one will become a lawyer,one a reporter,and two will grow to become hitmen for-hire.

If they are caught this time,the only thing to lose is their lives.
