There, he will befriend other wayward children who will ultimately emerge as the biggest and most lethal gangsters of their era. And Regan, schooled as an apprentice criminal in the boys’ home, will enter the violent noir of Sydney’s Kings Cross in the 1960s and hone his skills as a murderous mobster, terrifying both his criminal milieu and law enforcement.
