Nate Rodgers and Lionel Taylor are opposites in every way. While Nate has achieved dubious power and fame by pushing drugs on the mean streets of Washington D.C., Lionel has fallen from honour as a police detective by giving into the lure of drug abuse, losing his family in the process. When the two men meet, they inspire each other to rise above their circumstances and reach for redemption. Alone they have no chance, but together they might muster the strength to overcome the consequences of their bad decisions.
