Biloxi was well-known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood business during the most of the last century. It had a darker side, though. It was also well-known for depravity and corruption, including prostitution, gambling, illegal booze, drugs, and even contract assassinations. A small group of organised criminals, many of whom were thought to be Dixie Mafia members, dominated the vice. Hugh Malco and Keith Rudy were pals when they were young and growing up in Biloxi in the 1960s. However, their lives diverged when they were teenagers. Keith's father rose to fame as a prosecutor who was dedicated to "cleaning up the Coast." Hugh's father rose to prominence as the "Boss" of Biloxi's underworld. Keith continued his father's legacy by attending law school. Hugh worked in his father's clubs and preferred the nightlife. The conflict between the two families would take place in a courtroom. The Boys from Biloxi is a sprawling drama of two sons of immigrant families who grow up as friends but finally find themselves in a precarious legal dispute where life and death are at stake. It is rich in history and features a big cast of outstanding characters.
