Based on a true story – In 1881 Brooklyn, the arrest of Michael O’Brien for public intoxication sets off a chain of community uproar in the 24th Ward, leading to the unintended arrest of Ward Supervisor John Greany for “Corner Loafing” by an overzealous officer. Greany’s detainment unites the neighborhood in a spirited procession, culminating in a poignant standoff at the NYPD Precinct 12. Through humor, solidarity, and a touch of Irish wit, Greany turns the situation into a powerful statement about identity, community, and the evolving American dream, challenging the prejudices of the time and highlighting the resilience of the Irish immigrant community.
