Mob
City Official Synopsis:
The epic battle between a determined police
chief and a dangerous mobster inflames 1940s Los Angeles in TNT’s eagerly
anticipated television event Mob City (formerly known as Lost Angels). This
powerful drama comes to TNT from Frank Darabont (The Walking Dead), who wrote
and directed the pilot and serves as executive producer on the series. Based on
the critically acclaimed book L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s
Most Seductive City, by John Buntin, Mob City opens in post-war Los Angeles,
home to glamorous movie stars, powerful studio heads and returning war heroes.
But it’s also a city caught between a powerful and corrupt police force and an
even more dangerous criminal network determined to make L.A. its West Coast
base. Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker (Neal McDonough — Captain
America, Desperate Housewives)) has made it his mission to free the city of
criminals like Ben “Bugsy” Siegel (Ed Burns — Entourage) and Mickey Cohen
(Jeremy Luke — Don Jon), the ruthless king of the Los Angeles underworld.
Parker also won’t hesitate to go after anyone from his own police force who
sells out honor and duty for the sake of a big payout. To carry out his sweep
of organized crime, Parker sets up a new mob task force within the LAPD. Headed
by Det. Hal Morrison (Jeffrey DeMunn — The Walking Dead, The Shawshank
Redemption), the task force includes Det. Joe Teague (Jon Bernthal — The
Walking Dead), an ex-Marine who holds his cards close to his chest. Mob City’s
exceptional ensemble cast also includes Gregory Itzin (24), Robert Knepper
(Prison Break), Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) and Alexa Davalos (Clash of the
Titans, The Mist). Mob City is produced by TNT Originals, with Darabont,
Michael De Luca (The Social Network) and Elliot Webb (Alpha House) serving as
executive producers.
