Overview
Ā
Kate Mitchellās in the process of kicking her heroin addictionāwith the help of alcoholāwhen a letter arrives informing her that her aunt in Ireland has passed away and bequeathed her a home near the ocean. This could be the start of a new and better life for Kate, far away from Brooklyn, where she and her surviving brothers are each struggling with their own dark pasts.

But Aunt Mary didnāt die peacefullyāquite the opposite. The pair of thugs responsible for her murder had plans for her house: namely, turning it into a lovely seaside meth lab. One of Maryās killers, however, finds his focus shifting when he spots a photo of the dead womanās American niece, who bears a striking resemblance to the late opera singer Maria Callas, the beloved object of his obsession. When Kate and her brothers arrive to claim her inheritance, theyāre going to find something other than a piece of paradiseĀ .Ā .Ā .
