One moment, New Jersey state trooper Mike Russell was working undercover hoping to infiltrate a Mafia family. The next, he was lying facedown in an alley, shot in the back of the head. Miraculously surviving, Russell maintained his cover and soon had a stroke of luck when he saved a captain of the Genovese crime family from two street thugs. With the trust of his new friend, Russell orchestrated one of the biggest Mafia takedowns of all time.
