Most cops start at the bottom and work their way to the top, but in this heated urban crime thriller the officers sworn to protect and serve walk a dark path of corruption and destruction as they gradually succumb to their deepest criminal instincts. When two decorated police officers pound the pavement on a mission to take down the most vicious mobsters and drug dealers on the streets, their quest to purify the corrosive cesspool of a city they call home soon leads them into the upper-most ranks of the force.
