Howard and Ephraim take the fight directly to the German American Bund, hunting for answers. As Eph takes decisive action to stop an existential threat to the Jewish community in Cleveland, Howard wrestles with his own conscience when he comes face to face with an enemy.
It’s open season on Eph when he is excommunicated for his misdeeds in Little Italy. He and Howard must put aside their larger goals and set their sights on returning to Kosher Nostra territory by sundown…and the start of Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur. The Day of Atonement. The holiest day in the Jewish Calendar…and Howard returns to his Synagogue to plead his case to his former bosses in the Kosher Nostra with the threat of death at the conclusion of the service. Meanwhile, Eph undertakes a perilous journey to the heartland of Nazism in Cleveland to find evidence that might save them both.
Howard and Eph’s sins come home to roost. When Howard’s family is put in the line of fire, he’s just about ready to burn it all down–German, Italian, and Kosher Nostra alike…Eph included.
