Brady is contacted by his friend Dalton Lancaster because he was beat up by "thugs." His son, Robert, is also a gambler and owes a huge amount to the local mob - Paulie Russo from the North End. Robert disappears only to be found almost dead on a houseboat. His Uncle Mike & Aunt Kimmie did this as a payback because their son, Jimmie, had been missing for years.
