In 1935, Moose Flanagan's family moves to Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco so that Moose's father can take a job as a prison guard and Natalie, his autistic sister can attend a school in the city. Moose liked his life back in Santa Monica, and he's not very excited to be living in such close proximity to the nation's worst criminals -- guys like Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly. He eventually gets used to his new home, makes friends with Piper, the rison warden's daughter, and comes to terms with Natalie's dependence on him.
