As tensions escalate, the two officers must rely on each other's strengths and weaknesses to survive. Brian, a veteran cop with a no-nonsense attitude, is paired with Mike, a young and impulsive rookie who is eager to prove himself. Together, they navigate the treacherous world of gang culture, corruption, and violence.
