About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
In New York, racist Capt. Stanley White becomes obsessed with destroying a Chinese-American drug ring run by Joey Tai, an up-and-coming young gangster as ambitious as he is ruthless. While pursuing an unauthorized investigation, White grows increasingly willing to violate police protocol, resorting to progressively violent measures -- even as his concerned wife, Connie, and his superiors beg him to consider the consequences of his actions.
Captain Stanley White trades his badge and moral compass for a relentless, scorched-earth crusade against a rising Chinatown drug kingpin. This neon-soaked descent into urban chaos pits a rogue cop's obsession against a cold, calculating criminal empire.
