It is 1960 as Luke Karpinski and his friend, Eugene, navigate life in a Polish neighborhood in Milwaukee. Helped along by a cast of unforgettable characters, every day is an adventure for the boys. It never occurs to them that one day they will grow up and go their separate ways.
After Luke becomes a hardened undercover cop working in Miami, he nearly forgets his childhood friends. Although he chose his career to make the world a better place, he realizes that life is never that simple. As Miami transforms into the drug capitol of the world, Luke finds himself caught in a life and death struggle with fierce Colombian cartels. Finally when life comes full circle and Luke is old and alone, he returns to Milwaukee. As his memories roar back, he wonders why things changed. When he meets a black girl in front of his childhood home, Luke unsuccessfully tries to explain his presence, just as he hears voices from the past calling his name. Is a door opening and, if so, to where?
Beneath the Polish Moon is the story of a retired undercover cop's return to his childhood home in Milwaukee where he is offered an opportunity he never expected.
