Ava O'Neil was raised in New York City by her father, a leading member of an infamous Irish gang. Known as "The Roofer", O'Neil had a penchant for throwing his victims from the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen tenements. When a journalist comes looking for Ava, determined to profile her father in a magazine article, and to uncover the trail of a murder, Ava is equally determined to keep her family's secrets hidden.
The article is published regardless, and soon Hollywood comes calling to make a move about Ava's father. But another murderous secret from her family's past is even more twisted than anything on film. Will Ava manage to keep that secret to herself, or will everything she has built for her own life - including love - be destroyed when all is revealed?
