One story follows a police investigation into the death of mob boss Joe, with officers discovering that a rival gang member named Lucky was responsible; Lucky subsequently rises to power in the criminal underworld before being cornered by police. Another story depicts a criminal named Dillinger who partners with a man to commit bank robberies across the country, using a truck to transport stolen guns and cash while evading law enforcement pursuit.
From the gritty streets of 1920s Chicago, this tale tracks the ruthless rise of Al Capone—a New York stevedore who arrives looking for work and instead finds himself climbing the ranks of organized crime through violence, intimidation, and cunning ambition. As Capone learns the trade under the notorious Torrio and takes control of the city's underworld operations, his hunger for power grows ever darker. Watch as he consolidates his grip on Chicago and sets his sights even higher, reshaping the criminal landscape across the nation.
Young Salvatore Luciana arrives in America with dreams of a better life, but five years in New York's brutal underworld reshape him into Charlie Luciano—a ruthless climber willing to do whatever it takes to survive. From street gang enforcer to narcotics dealer to trusted lieutenant, Luciano claws his way toward power, earning the nickname "Lucky" after surviving a beating that should have killed him. When opportunity strikes, he seizes control of the Unione Siciliano and builds the Big Six, a crime syndicate that divides New York's rackets among its elite members and cements his grip on the underworld.
In the late 1920s, a broke sixteen-year-old named John Dillinger agrees to help a friend rob a grocery store to scrape together cash for a dance—a single mistake that lands him ten years in the Indiana State Penitentiary, where he befriends three hardened criminals and hatches an ambitious plan for the future. Released with vengeance on his mind, Dillinger orchestrates his prison companions' escape and builds a fearless bank-robbing gang that cuts a blazing trail across the nation, drawing the relentless attention of the FBI and Agent Panken himself. As the manhunt intensifies and his gang falls apart one by one, a desperate and cornered Dillinger makes a fateful decision that brings him face-to-face with the law once more.
