In the 1930s Eliot Ness, the famous treasury agent who helped convict Al Capone, accepts a high-ranking public safety position in Cleveland, where the discovery of a dismembered torso soon plunges the city into a state of terror. As the body count rises, Ness pours more energy and manpower into his investigation, desperately trying to live up to his larger-than-life reputation. His obsession slowly erodes his personal and professional life, and his investigation finally leads to a revelation too shocking to reveal to the public.
