Corruption and vices of all kinds, from gambling to prostitution, illegal alcohol production, drugs, and even contract killings. A handful of gangsters controlled the vices, and it was rumored that they belonged to the infamous Southern Mafia. Keith Rudy and Hugh Malco grew up in Biloxi in the 1960s, both coming from immigrant families from Eastern Europe. In childhood, they were inseparable friends, known to all as stars of the baseball team. Their paths diverged on the threshold of adulthood.
