Summary:
In South Boston, the state police force are waging a war on Irish-American organized crime.

Colin Sullivan, a hardened young criminal who rises to a position of power within the Special Investigation Unit of the police department, is in fact an informat for the syndicate. No one suspects Colin is the mole for Costello. Each man becomes deeply consumed by his double life, gathering information about the plans and counter-plans of the operations he has penetrated. But when it becomes clear to both the mob and the police that there's a mole in their midst, Billy and Colin are suddenly thrust into danger.
