Ključna riječ Senator

Film Black Mass temelji se na bestselleru New York Timesa Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob koji potpisuju Dick Lehr i Gerald O’Neill. Priča o dvojici braće: osuđenom ubojici i ključnoj figuri u organiziranom kriminalu Whiteyu Bulgeru (Johnny Depp) i njegovom bratu, demokratu i odvjetniku Billu (Benedict Cumberbatch). Njihova potpuno suprotna zanimanja nisu ih razdvojila, no to je stvorilo dodatne probleme. Bulger je bio FBI-ev doušnik kako bi mogao diskretno uništiti neprijateljsku bandu. No na kraju se sve okrenulo protiv njega, dvostruko je prevaren te su ga kazneno progonili federalci, zajedno s njegovim partnerom i originalni FBI-evim agentom koji je s njim surađivao.

Four Republican senators share the same D.C. house rental, and face re-election battles, looming indictments, and parties -- all with a sense of humor.

The plot centers on a large-scale conspiracy by a group of US military personnel, led by General James Scott, against the current President Jordan Lyman. Further events show that the President, who sent his closest aides and friends to investigate, easily and almost indifferently accepts the news of their deaths, because he is only interested in his own person.
