Plot Synopsis

Using chronological reenactments and expert commentary, UNTOUCHABLE: POWER CORRUPTS tells the stories of people whose ambition, authority and sense of entitlement drove them to abuse their power -- and ultimately do the unthinkable. Each 60-minute episode chronicles the cat-and-mouse game pitting the police against the perpetrators who believe they are above the law. This six-episode series features the following criminals: Dr. Michael Swango, a trusted and well-liked surgeon, who is somehow involved in deadly events in Ohio, New York and Illinois; Detective Jon Burge, who survives allegations about his interrogation methods -- until an explosive tip-off suggests that Burge is hiding a sinister secret; Joe Miedzianowski, who infiltrated the shady but glamorous world of cocaine dealers and drug mules going undercover for the Chicago PD, but a series of suspicious events leads the FBI to wonder exactly whose side he's on; New Jersey defense lawyer Paul Bergrin, who takes to extreme measures to win unwinnable cases, making him more dangerous than the clients he represents; Police Chief Michael Corbitt, who is lured in by the Chicago mob, as evidenced by a string of extortion scams, violent crimes and a deadly extramarital affair; and DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey, who faces a political rival amid claims of corruption, pushing people to unspeakable acts in order to maintain their grip on power.
