This documentary series examines the real-world spies, gangsters, honeypots and mistresses that unravel a hidden conspiracy between the CIA and the Chicago mob to assassinate Fidel Castro at a critical time in the Cold War.

Key players give their first-person accounts of what was happening in the United States and Cuba at the time. Utilizing recently declassified material and premium cinematic recreations, the series lays out a Cold War game of cat and mouse from Vegas to Miami to Havana that pitted Washington's strongest players against the 20th century's most notorious gangsters.

Based on the book "Mafia Spies: The Inside Story of the CIA, Gangsters, JFK, and Castro" by Thomas Maier.
