New York şehrinde geçen hikayede 1988 senesinde yeni uyuşturucu türü bütün şehre yayılarak şimdiye kadar görülmemiş bir vahşete yol açar. Yasalar gereği polisler yeteri kadar silah kullanamazken suçlular ile polisler arasına büyük bir savaş başlamış olacaktır. Brooklyn, 1988. Crime is rife, especially drugs and drug violence. A Russian thug is building his heroin trade, while everyone laughs at the cops. Brothers have chosen different paths: Joe has followed his father Bert into New York's Finest; he's a rising star. Bobby, who uses his mother's maiden name, manages a club. Bobby too is on the rise: he has a new girlfriend and a green-light to develop a Manhattan club. Joe and Bert ask him to help with intelligence gathering; he declines. Then, Joe raids Bobby's club to arrest the Russian. From there, things spiral out of control: the Russian puts out a hit on Joe, personal losses mount, and Bobby's loyalties face the test.
