Based on the book by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill, Black Mass takes place in late 1970's and 1980's South Boston. FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades notorious Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI in order to eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and dangerous gangsters in Boston history. (Gary Reber)
