A gritty, morally murky crime drama about an ex-con drawn into his family's corrupt underworld, where loyalty and survival collide in the industrial underbelly of New York.

In the rail yards of Queens, contractors repair and rebuild the city's subway cars. These contracts are lucrative, so graft and corruption are rife.
