The Departed is set in South Boston, where the state police force is waging war on organized crime. Young undercover cop Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is assigned to infiltrate the mob syndicate run by gangland chief Costello (Jack Nicholson).
Based on the Chinese-linguage Hong Kong gangster film of the same name ("Wu jian dao"), Infernal Affairs will be reset in Boston amid Irish-American mobsters and the cops who are their nemeses.
