This action-packed thriller pits a World War I veteran against local gangsters and the Italian mob in a desperate struggle to control Harlem’s underworld
In his life, Jackson Blaze has been many things: hustler, prizefighter, leg breaker, and decorated war hero. Upon returning from World War I to his adopted home of Harlem, New York, he finds himself in the middle of a war between gangster boss Jimmy Rose and the Jewish Mafia for control of Harlem’s lucrative underworld.
