1930’s Chicago, spirits are still talking through Gregory Davenport– only this time their warnings are ominous. At the Hair of the Dog Club, Letty Carlyle thought she had left her past behind, but when her dangerous ex-boyfriend Mikey O’Shea arrives in the city, she knows trouble isn’t far behind.
It all starts when maid Rose Flanagan discovers Samuel Insull, monopoly owner of the powerful utility company Commonwealth Edison, has been unable to avoid bankruptcy. Worried that the news will cause a run on the banks, setting the city—the state—on fire, a notorious bank owner enlists Mikey O’Shea and elusive One-Arm Nettles to silence Rose and her sister Grace, using whatever means necessary.
But when Mikey gets to Chicago, he has set his sights on revenge instead of protecting Mauro’s bank. Desperate to pay back Letty, who shot and left him for dead years ago, Mikey is on a rampage.
Meanwhile, One-Arm Nettles finds himself torn between his criminal past and the possibility of redemption. Will Nettles change his ways to protect Letty and Grace, or will he succumb to his dark side, allowing Mikey to exploit them in his chaotic killing spree through Chicago.
