Description:
This gritty crime drama recounts the shocking true story of Whitey Bulger, the notorious South Boston gangster with ties to political power and a ruthless reputation for violence. As the brother of a state senator, he enjoyed an unusual degree of protection in a city known for its brutal underworld. When a rival Mafia family sought to expand their operations into his territory, however, Bulger found an unlikely ally in the FBI - they enlisted him as an informant to help dismantle the invading mobsters. With his criminal past and intimate knowledge of Boston's criminal networks, Bulger became a formidable asset for the agency. Yet his new role as a law enforcement collaborator only served to mask the depths of his own ruthless ambition and ruthlessness. This is an unflinching look at the dark intersection of politics, organized crime, and moral compromise in a city that never sleeps.
