William Amos Mann IV, known as Billy-the son of a heroic pilot killed in Vietnam and an unknown woman. The last in a line of proud, individualistic Irish-American men, Billy is discovered in a basket at the door of the dilapidated mansion where his bitter, hard-drinking grandfather, Thomas Mann, has exiled himself. Thomas sets out to raise the boy himself-on a diet of love, fried baloney, and the fascinating lore of their shared heritage.
