Mark O'Brien, Kevin Bacon, Amanda Clayton, Jere Shea, Lauren E. Banks, Kevin Chapman, Aldis Hodge, Jonathan Tucker, Jill HennessyIn den frühem 1990er Jahren geschah das „Wunder von Boston“: aus einer vor Gewalt und Kriminialität nur so strotzden Stadt wurde eine weitestgehend befriedete Gemeinde. Ausgangspunkt wird die Ermittlung gegen eine Familie, die bewaffnete Autoüberfälle verübt und dafür vom Anwalt Decourcy Ward (Aldis Hodge) und dem korrupten, aber fähigen FBI-Agenten Jackie Rohr (Kevin Bacon) dingfest gemacht werden sollen.
Die 12-teilige Serie von Chuck MacLean geht eher lose mit den wahren Begebenheiten um.
In the early 1990s, Boston was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies in which corruption and racism was the norm - and then it all changed in what was called the "Boston Miracle". In this fictional account, Assistant District Attorney Decourcy Ward comes from Brooklyn and forms an unlikely alliance with a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran, Jackie Rohr. Together, they take on a family of armored car robbers in a case that grows to involve, and ultimately subvert, the entire criminal justice system of Boston.
