L'histoire se déroule dans les années 1970 et 1980. James 'Whitey' Bulger fait sa loi dans le sud de Boston, mais il doit confronter chaque jour des groupes criminels plus organisés que le sont son entourage et lui. Lorsque l'agent du FBI John Connolly lui propose de devenir un informateur pour le gouvernement, Bulger y voit une façon de faire faire son sale travail par les autres. Quand les autorités auront éliminé la compétition, Bulger sera le criminel le plus puissant de la ville et pourra poursuivre ses activités sans être dérangé par des adversaires potentiels.
