Synopsis

May 14, 1931. Eliot Ness and his team observed a discernible exodus of the city’s highest-ranking figures. Frank Nitti had departed for Atlantic City, and Bugs Moran and Jack Diamond had followed suit. As Ness remarked, “The rats are leaving the ship.” Their departure suggested a desire to be absent when a significant event occurred. Unbeknownst to Ness, he himself was the intended target.
