Sleepers

An unforgettable true story of friendship, loyalty and revenge. They were four boys who shared everything - the laughter and bruises of an impoverished upbringing in New Yorks West Side. Then one of their pranks misfired - a man nearly died and they were sent away to a reformatory school. They they suffered the worst abuse the guards could inflict on them. They were forever scarred by their experiences. Eleven years later: two of them became killers for the mob. They met the ringleader of the guards who had abused them - and shot him dead in front of several witnesses. No one thought they would see the outside of a prison again - but the four friends banded together once more and in one last, audacious stand brought their own vengeance to the courtroom.
