Summary

1990s Boston. Arriving in Boston, idealistic Assistant District Attorney Decourcy Ward discovers a place rife with criminals and corrupt, racist local law enforcement. He forms an unlikely alliance with Jackie Rohr, a crooked FBI agent and local fixture who knows where (most of) the bodies are buried. Together they take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown in a case that grows to involve, and ultimately subvert, the city's entire criminal justice system.
