A biographical crime drama tracing a mobster's ruthless ascent and inevitable downfall, driven by ambition and the paranoia of a hunted man.

John Gotti, the head of a small New York mafia crew breaks a few of the old family rules. He rises to become the head of the Gambino family and the most well-known mafia boss in America. Life is good, but suspicion creeps in, and greed, rule-breaking and his high public profile all threaten to topple him.
