The Flathead Gang
10 pp · crime
Mr. AdamsPaul Jaworski

Pittsburgh's notorious Flathead Gang earned their grim name from Paul Jaworski, a violent career criminal born with a distinctly flattened skull who'd kill without hesitation to get what he wanted. When a farmer catches Jaworski and his hoodlum crew stealing cherries, a brutal act sets the criminal on a path from reform school to increasingly ruthless robberies—and his hatred of authority burns hotter with each passing year. Watch as Jaworski recruits a crew for bigger scores, proving that a flat head houses an even flatter moral compass.
