Brotherhood
Created by Blake Masters
On Showtime
A dark, family-centered crime drama about two brothers on opposite sides of the law whose loyalty to each other and their city corrodes into betrayal and violence.
A working-class Irish family rules a city built on loyalty and corruption. The Caffee brothers, Tommy, a rising politician desperate for reelection, and Michael, a hardened criminal returning from seven years on the run and eager to reclaim his turf, fight for survival on opposite sides of the law. In their ruthless quest for power, the entire Caffee family is driven to lies, betrayal and infidelity -- threatening to tear them and the city of Providence, RI apart.
