Ann C. Ryan

Frank and Lou are brothers, running the family's bakery, a fixture in their Bronx neighborhood since 1921. Lou loves it, but the rest of his life is in tatters: he lives alone, bets on the horses, and owes a loan shark. Frank, older, married, and always responsible, wants to get out of the bakery and pursue other dreams. Things come to a head on the day Lou's marker comes due and Frank announces big news. They find themselves reflecting on the life choices they've made.

Joey Demarco has just spent the last fifteen years in prison and wants nothing to do with his former life. However, revenge is inevitable in a life of crime.
