V tomto strhujícím příběhu infiltruje agent ATF Dobyns pobočku Hells Angels, aby ukázal, že romantikou opředený klub není ve skutečnosti nic jiného než násilnický gang. Jeho vyšetřování ho zavádí mezi fascinující směsici perníkářů, obchodníků se zbraněmi, sexuálních násilníků a podvodníků. Dobyns a jeho spisovatelský pomocník Johnson – Shelton vyprávějí osvěžující, přímočarý příběh, který neskrývá nic z toho, čím musel Dobyns ve svém životě zaplatit za tuto tajnou akci (táhnoucí se dlouhodobé vyšetřování, při kterém se dostal hlouběji do nitra gangu, než kdokoli jiný). Dobyns je otcem od rodiny, který často zvedá telefony od své ustarané manželky uprostřed tajné transakce, a který s brutální upřímností vypráví jak daleko na temnou stranu zákona se dostal díky této misi. Jeho vyprávění zanechává dojem, že už se nikdy nebude moci tak úplně vrátit k práci tajného agenta (Hunter S. Thompson byl zbit, když psal svůj příběh o Hells Angels v roce 1967). Od setkáních v poušti připomínajících středověké klany, přes jízdy v krkolomné rychlosti, po přestřelky za pravého poledne, to je skutečný příběh agenta jehož talent pro tuto práci a schopnost převést toto vše do uchvacující četby připomínají příběh Joea Pistona, známého jako Donnie Brasco.

An ATF agent describes his undercover assignment to infiltrate the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, detailing the challenges of working his way up the biker gang's hierarchy and maintaining their hard-won trust.
