The Oath
Created by Joe Halpin
On Crackle
A dark procedural exploring institutional corruption from within, where the line between protector and criminal collapses among officers bound by gang loyalty.
Explore a gang world we've never seen before: gangs that are made up of the very men and women sworn to uphold the law – cops. Only select officers make the cut, but once inside, gang members will do what they must to protect each other from enemies inside and outside their ranks.
