A young Irish gangster is caught in a brutal dance between love and loyalty
Tony Ward is back in Dublin. After five years in England, where he fled after murdering a rival gang member, he returns to find that his mentor is dead and his best friend has gone straight.
Keen to reestablish himself, he jumps at the chance to work for the enforcer of a local crime boss. But Flute Walsh is a far cry from the boy Tony once knew. Drawn to Flute in ways he never expected, Tony finds that the boundaries he thought he understood are beginning to break down. Is there room for connection in a world where nothing stays buried and where retribution is just a bullet away?
By turns savage and tender, unexpected and intimate, All Them Dogs is a gripping story of violence, greed, and desire that explores one man's struggles to find balance in an unsparing world.
