In the 1950s, the ambitious and unscrupulous Jewish prosecutor Roy M. Cohn convinces Senator Joseph McCarthy to be his chief counsel in his hunting against communists. With his powerful and intimidating tactics, the arrogant Cohn destroys both careers and lives and becomes a Jew hunting Jews and a gay hunting gays. In 1986, he was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical and unprofessional conduct, and died five weeks later of AIDS in a hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.
