In 1944, after Al Capone has been released from prison, J. Edgar Hoover assigns an FBI junior agent to insinuate himself into Capone's life, in the guise of a Catholic priest, so that Hoover can nail his mob confederates. Suffering the neurological effects of syphilis, Capone is alternately lucid -- full of the passion and energy that fueled his rise to the pinnacle of crime -- and a rambling, ranking, broken shell of a man released from prison to die at home.
