Having earned the respect of the Italian mob in 1949 Los Angeles, the brutally ambitious Brooklyn-born former professional boxer, Mickey Cohen, and his ruthless gang have spread their tentacles throughout the bustling city. Enjoying a preposterous immunity, and the ample protection of the local police and the corrupt politicians, Mickey brags about how he can dine with judges and police chiefs, who holds them in the palm of his hand, leaving the field clear for Cohen to enforce his omnipotence undisturbed. However, not if a small, top-secret LAPD task force can help it. Now, the brave and honest men of Sgt. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters dice with death to bring down the vicious gangster's thriving criminal empire. Can L.A.'s Gangster Squad stop Mickey Cohen's reign of terror?—Nick Riganas
