In the gritty streets of Baltimore, a war on drugs ravages the city, blurring the lines between good and evil. A gripping drama that explores the human condition.

Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.
