1958 - America is about to emerge into a bright new age - an age that will last until the 1000 days of John F.Kennedy's presidency. Three men move beneath the glossy surface of power; men allied to the makers and shakers of the era. Pete Bondurant - Howard Hughes' right hand man, Jimmy Hoffa's hitman. Kemper Boyd - employed by J.Edgar Hoover to infiltrate the Kennedy clan. Ward Littel, a man seeking redemption in Bobby Kennedy's drive against organised crime.
