What it’s about. En 1968, à New York, Frank Lucas a vécu pendant vingt ans dans l’ombre du Parrain noir de Harlem, Bumpy Johnson, qui en fait son garde du corps et confident. Lorsque son patron succombe à une crise cardiaque, Lucas assure discrètement la relève et ne tarde pas à révéler son leadership, son sens aigu des affaires et son extrême prudence, en prenant pour auxiliaires ses frères et cousins et en gardant un profil bas. Inconnu de la police comme des hautes instances de la Cosa Nostra, Lucas organise avec la complicité d’officiers basés au Vietnam un véritable pont aérien et importe ainsi par avions entiers des centaines de kilos d’héroïne pure, qu’il revend à bas prix dans les rues de New York.
