Would you let your brother serve 20 years in prison for a crime you committed? Would you serve 20 years in prison for his?

What are the limits of love -- or hate -- between family members?

How much can we learn from the remove of nearly 90 years about the trials and tribulations of Tom and Yerkie Irwin, whose grandparents (we believe) emigrated from Cavan to the rough-and-tumble New York City enclave known as Hell's Kitchen?

These are issues we will consider in the days, weeks and months ahead, along with stark questions exploring family shame, intergenerational trauma, and, at least for one of the brothers, hopefully and ultimately, redemption.
