- Synopsis
- It's 1925. Thanks to Prohibition, bootleg liquor is big business, and organized crime is thriving. As summer vacation begins, twelve-year-old Emily Scott witnesses a gangland attack on her landlord, who runs a grocery downstairs from her family's Philadelphia flat. Emily is badly frightened by the violence and the thugs' warnings to keep quiet about it. So she jumps at the chance to accompany her sister Dorothy to the Jersey shore, where they'll be guests of Dorothy's wealthy college friend, Bitsy.
