In 1992, gang activity in Chicago is on the rise. With local law enforcement unable to curb the growing drug trade and its resulting violence, a multi-agency task force headed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Safer focuses on one of the city’s most vicious street gangs, the Gangster Disciples. The investigation reveals that one man rules the 35,000-member gang from behind bars. To rid the streets of the Gangster Disciples and the drugs and violence they bring, Safer and his team will have to put an end to the reign of its leader, Larry Hoover.
