Denny Malone longs for one: Being a good cop. For the eighteen years he spent at the New York police, he serves in the first line, he meets pain, dead, victims and perpetrators daily. His life belongs to the street district of Manhattan-sever. Today, many homks are award -winning detective and the head of the elite unit, whose mission is to fight the gangs and clean the streets of drugs and weapons. It is ready to protect its city, a city built on ambition and corruption, a city in which no one has a clear conscience - even Malone alone. The unit is a riveting story of greed and violence, inequality and discrimination, crimes and injustice, revenge and redemption that reveals the seemingly unsurpassed tension between the New York police and the different groups of the population. It is a caustic portrait of a hectic city and an intrepid, heroic, but in the depth of the soul of a spoiled man who has found himself over the abyss.
