Michael Caffee returns to his hometown to take control of its mob activities. His return falls heavy on his politician brother, Tommy Caffee, when Irish mob boss, Freddie Cork, extorts a deal in exchange for Michael's life.

The team reopens the 1980 case of a hockey player, who was killed at his team's ice rink in Philadelphia, the day the US hockey team beat the Soviet team at the Winter Olympics.

Michael forces a merchant to sell her store; Tommy worries about a civic project which can adversely affect the Hill, all the while being unaware of Eileen's troubles.

While Tommy is forced to approach Judd, in hopes of settling the conflict between two unions led by Freddie and the Mayor, Eileen must face her demons alone and Michael must try to come to terms with the changes in the Hill.

Tommy suffers political and financial setbacks when his mother's house is raided in search of counterfeit money. As revenge for all the troubles caused, Michael frames Moe Riley, the informer behind the raid, in a murder case.

While Tommy helps in re-opening of a local theatre, which doesn't go as planned, Rose takes up a job at the store and Eileen confesses her illicit doings to Mary-Kate.
