Brotherhood is a drama series on Showtime which premiered on July 9, 2006. The show tells the story of the Irish-American Caffee family. Tommy Caffee is a local politician, while his brother Michael is involved in the neighborhood's Irish Mob — having just returned from time on the lam. The brothers share a strange sense of moral cooperation. The show is set on "The Hill", a fictional Irish neighborhood located between Broadway and Westminister Street in Providence, Rhode Island, which has a population of 178,126 and a large Italian and Irish background. The Neighborhood is loosely based on the real-life "Federal Hill", a predominately Italian-American neighborhood located in Providence and was the location for the New England Mafia up until the 1980's. The series stars Jason Isaacs and Jason Clarke as criminal enforcer Michael Caffee and politician Tommy Caffee.
