James Marino, Jimbo, a police officer in Chicago's anti-mafia division, has been working as a mole in the city's underworld for three months, among mafia criminals and professional killers. His ability to camouflage has paid off and he is about to take down the leadership of the Organization. However, his plans are thwarted when GiGi Parnell, whom he sent to prison after a harsh hand-to-hand combat, serves his ten-year sentence and is released. GiGi, a psychopath who is unwilling to take orders other than those coming from his own disturbed brain, has only two obsessions: the dark memory of his unhealthy relationship with his mother, who died while he was still in prison, and the blind need to take down the only man who was able to stand up to him. Jimbo has to deal not only with the mafia apparatus and with a monster that has him in the dark, but also with his own co-workers, who do not accept his expeditious methods, his individualism and his vengeful hatred against all forms of submission to established social norms.
