Kill Whitey

In Butchers Harbor, two mob families fight for control of the sick city's criminal trade. The upstart Borisova syndicate-a self-styled Eastern-bloc version of the Godfather film family-has been decimating the leading Irish Lynch gang in cruel, inventive ways: from mason jars filled with hornets to exploding pimps embalmed with nitroglycerin. Now it's time for the Lynches to strike back, and family patriarch Increase Lynch believes that only his estranged albino son Whitey can do it. Friendless and isolated, Whitey spends his time selling adrenaline boosters, memory erasers, dream amplifiers, and zombie potions. Desperate to reconnect with the world, he accepts his family's offer. But how far over the line is Whitey prepared to go? Armed with a stash of potions and goofballs, he must contend with the mayhem of his family and his world, taking this mystery into darkly comic, acid-noir territory and over-the-top violence.
