A morally dark crime biography built around an aging gangster's interrogation and unreliable recounting of a life spent building a criminal empire.

When the aging Meyer Lansky is investigated one last time by the Feds who suspect he has stashed away millions of dollars over half a century, the retired gangster spins a dizzying tale, revealing the untold truth about his life as the notorious boss of Murder Inc. and the National Crime Syndicate.
