The story
Four lifelong friends from Charlestown, Boston—mild-mannered Doug MacRay, volatile James "Jem" Coughlin, Albert "Gloansy" MacGloan, and Desmond "Dez" Elden—rob a bank wearing latex skeleton masks.
Claire does not recognize Doug's voice from the bank heist.
During a visit to his father, Stephen, who is serving five consecutive life sentences in prison, Doug shares his plan to leave Boston for Florida.
