About
New York City detective Daniel Ciello agrees to help the United States Department of Justice eliminate corruption in the police department, as long as he will not have to turn in any close friends. In doing so, Ciello uncovers a conspiracy within the force to smuggle drugs to street informants.
New York City's decaying underworld feels suffocatingly real through this unflinching lens of precinct corruption. A detective's loyalty is pushed to the breaking point when he discovers his own colleagues are fueling the very drug trade they claim to fight.
