Overview
Some worship him and some want him dead, but either way, tensions run high when āRay Boyā Calabrese is released from prison. Itās been sixteen years since Ray Boyās actions led to the death of a young man. The victim's brother, Conway D'Innocenzio, is a 29-year-old Brooklynite wasting away at a local Rite Aid, stuck in the past and drawn into a darker side of himself when he hears of Ray Boyās freedom. But even with the perfect plan in place, Conway canāt bring himself to take the ultimate revenge on Ray Boy, which sends him into a spiral of self-loathing and soul-searching.
Meanwhile, Alessandra, a failed actress, returns to her native Gravesend after the death of her cancer-stricken mother, torn between the desperate need to escape back to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and the ease with which she could sink back into neighborhood life. Alessandra and Conway are walking eerily similar pathsāstaring down the rest of their lives, caring for their aging fathers, lost in the youths they squanderedāand each must decide what comes next.
In the tradition of American noir authors like Dennis Lehane and James Ellroy, William BoyleāsĀ GravesendĀ brings the titular neighborhood to life in this story of revenge, desperation, and escape.
