1949, los Angeles. Ruthless, the series conducts in this town, imagining the gains from the drugs, the prostitutes, the guns and -- whether he has his own way -- every cable bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not just their personal paid goons, but also the police. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop... except, perhaps, because of its small, covert crew of LAPD outsiders directed by Sgt. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to attempt to rip Cohen's universe apart.
