Keiths father became a legendary prosecutor, determined to clean up the Coast. Hughs father became the Boss of Biloxis criminal underground.

The two families were headed for a showdown, one that would happen in a courtroom. Life itself hangs in the balance in The Boys from Biloxi, a sweeping saga rich with history and with a large cast of unforgettable characters.
