Just heard an obscure name referenced from local Los Angeles mob lore
Anyone know if the script is original or is it from a book, or some other source material like a periodical article?
Nothing listed on IMDB main page

...You think everyone is who they say they are?

It's an original script by former Philadelphia writer Pete Dexter. Maybe the four characters are loosely based on a real "Hat Squad" in LA during the 1950's. Certain other elements are calls to real world events.
