Ned Hale, the crime boss of Newton City, discovers the perfect scheme when he recruits the Malloy twins—Ted and Si—to pull off robberies while one twin creates an airtight alibi through public disturbances, leaving police baffled by a man who couldn't possibly be in two places at once. But as the twins grow bolder and their success mounts, both the police and Hale himself begin closing in, each with their own reasons to see the clever operation come crashing down.

When Ray and Pete Dillon commit a brutal murder in 1934, a chance scar becomes the clue that leads Inspector Ryan and the cops straight to them.

Now condemned to death row, the Dillon brothers face their final days, though Ray's stubborn refusal to accept defeat hints that their story may not end quite as the state intends.
