In 1971, in the hardscrabble mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, Jayne Ranney, fifteen and from a disbanded family, finds herself adrift after many setbacks: her father's accidental death, her brother's residence in the Billerica House of Correction, and her mother's abuse and neglect.Hope of a stable future emerges when Jayne is hired as a runner for the city's preeminent bookmaker, Galen “the Greek” Stathakis, operating out of the Skillet Bar. With the Greek and his gang—Tao Mann, his bartender, and Jimmy Tennyson, returned from the war in Vietnam—she hopes she can finally find stability as she learns about trust and a different kind of family. But when outside forces put her life in the crosshairs, and stakes rise, will Jayne find she is on her own once again?
