Synopsis

Go behind the scenes of JFK's presidential election, the Bay of Pigs, and his assassination, exploring the underworld connecting Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, and D.C. Here, the CIA, the Mob, and powerful figures conspire in a covert anarchy where loyalty is bought with drugs, cash, and murder. Three renegade law enforcement officers, driven by greed and hatred, ride full-blast into history, shaping events as money, power, and even the Presidency of the United States are up for grabs. This secret history blows open a time still shrouded in mystery.
