The Reign

"I'm not guilty."

It's 1907 and David Kelly is in the throes of opium addiction. Like thousands of other New Yorkers, he whiles away his days in the embrace of the opium pipe. Only a sudden attack on his hideout and the intervention of his best friend Ben Portnoy saves him from losing himself forever.

Determined to fulfil his ambitions of ruling New York, David joins the most powerful Irish gang in the city, the Hudson Dusters. But his activities put him in direct conflict with Ben's own gang and men far more powerful than himself.

With their friendship strained and the return of the love of his life, Sarah Portnoy, David doesn't know how he's going to balance his friends, his ambitions, and his love.

Just one fateful decision will set David on a course from which there's no turning back.
