Description: Eddie Coyle (a.k.a. "Eddie Fingers") is a low-level gunrunner for a crime organization in Boston, Massachusetts. He is facing several years in prison for a truck hijacking in New Hampshire set up by a local bar owner. Coyle's last chance is securing a sentencing recommendation through the help of an ATF agent, Dave Foley, who demands that Coyle become an informer in return. Unbeknownst to Coyle, the bar owner is an informant for Foley, and he frames Coyle for informing on Scalise and Van.
