The 6-hour limited series annals the precariousness of the Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force – the corruption and collapse that followed the American city where actual police work was easily replaced with policies of drug disallowance and a huge number of arrests.

Josh Charles plays the role of “Daniel Hersl” a cocky, swanky cop who is known to the citizens of Baltimore for his rude behavior and brutality and is the lead name in a lot of public complaints.
He was banned from the Eastern district right before his transfer to ‘Gun Trace Task Force’. Jamie Hector plays the role of “Sean M. Suiter” who is a Homicide detective and is unfortunately caught up in the GTTF façade and is asked to testify against a grand jury where he feels like he can’t outrun his past.
