Years ago, seven boys connected as children at their local boys' club. The strength of their bond lasts through adulthood and now has serious, possibly murderous, implications. Beautiful women are being slaughtered in West Side, Massachusetts. Major Crimes Unit Captain Rudy Beauregard and his team are on the case and hungry for quick justice. The dead women all have two things in common: beauty and a professional relationship with the charming psychotherapist Candido Rodriguez. He's the prime suspect and also one of the seven boys, all grown up. Defense Attorney Norberto Cull walks a fine line in representing Rodriguez, as he is also one of the seven, certainly a conflict of interest. Rodriguez seems to be the nexus of all these murders, but Beauregard begins to wonder if his childhood friends are also somehow involved. To learn the truth, he'll have to investigate West Side's underbelly, including its exotic dancing scene, political activism, and even Irish music. Seven boys formed a bond long ago, but now, with blood in the air, will they turn on each other or gang up on Beauregard as he seeks to uncover the truth?
