Povestită atât din punctul de vedere al detectivilor de omucideri și narcotice din Baltimore, cât și al țintelor acestora, serialul surprinde un univers în care războiul național împotriva drogurilor a devenit o birocrație permanentă, auto-susținută, iar distincțiile dintre bine și rău sunt în mod obișnuit șterse.
