A morally murky crime drama set in 1990s Boston where systemic corruption and institutional compromise are the real antagonists, built on an uneasy partnership between idealism and pragmatism.

In early 90s Boston, an African-American District Attorney comes in from Brooklyn advocating change and forms an unlikely alliance with a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran invested in maintaining the status quo. Together they take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown in a case that grows to encompass and eventually upend Boston’s city-wide criminal justice system.
