Based on a true story from the book "With Honor and Purpose", Street Boss follows FBI agent Phil Kerby on his relentless quest to bring down one of Detroit's most notorious mobsters, Tony Jack.
Anthony J. Giacolone (Tony Jack) owned the city and nobody ever stood in his way. The police were paid off and anyone who posed a threat to Tony or his crew ended up with a price tag on their head. This all changed when David Goldberg and his family became Jack's newest targets, Phil Kerby vowed to put and end to this extortion once and for all.
When David Goldberg fired his long time friend and Tony Jack's nephew, Jimmy Callone, he never thought that he would have to face the wraith of Tony Jack himself, but he was seriously mistaken. Within days, Tony Jack appeared at David's home with an ultimatum: "Pay us One Hundred Thousand Dollars or you and your family die!" Goldberg, not trusting the police, decides to deal with the problem himself, but his daughter has a different idea and turns to FBI Agent Phil Kerby for help.
Kerby quickly realizes that Tony Jack is not a small time extortionist; his connections ran deep. The police are afraid and the corruption is extreme. But now Kerby, the new agent transferred to this Michigan FBI Bureau is about to make some serious changes. His first mission: to take Jack down, bring safety to David Goldberg's family and return justice to the town.
Kerby enlights the help of another local FBI Agent, Paul Miller. They use undercover agents, high tech surveillance, and insiders to gather the details of Jack's extortion, gambling rings and crime sprees. As the Investigation is about to reach a boiling point, one of Kerby's fellow FBI Agents turns out to be a snitch and blows the whistle on the investigation. Now Kerby is forced to confront the Mafia alone.
Will Tony Jack prevail over the tenacious FBI Agent on a mission, or will his empire crumble around him?
