The story

Danny Quinn (Donnie Wahlberg) is a former "street kid" from South Boston, colloquially known as "Southie," who returns home from New York City after three years away. He finds his mother (Anne Meara) overwhelmed with worry as her other three kids are caught up in the madness of the hardscrabble neighborhood in which drinking, sex, and fighting is the way of life. Danny tracks down his brothers only to find out they are deeply embedded in the Irish mob in Boston and in debt to local mobster Colie Powers (Lawrence Tierney).
