Russell Stevens Jr. is a dedicated and principled police officer living in Los Angeles, haunted by the traumatic memory of his father, who was shot by police during a botched heist. Determined to break the cycle of crime, Russell agrees to take on an undercover mission with a promise from his superiors that he will remain anonymous and safe. His target is a powerful drug cartel, and his mission is to delve deep into the criminal underworld to bring them down from the inside. Assuming the alias John Hull, Russell finds himself navigating a dangerous and morally ambiguous path as he slowly earns the trust of the criminals he's been sent to expose.

As Hull, Russell partners with David Jason, a high-powered lawyer with an appetite for risk and a love for fast money. The deeper Russell gets into his cover, the blurrier the lines become between right and wrong. He is torn between his dedication to justice and the intoxicating power and wealth the criminal world offers. With every move he makes, Russell inches closer to either bringing down the drug empire or losing himself in it. Trusting no one, Russell must confront his own moral boundaries and decide how far he is willing to go in his fight against corruption, all while keeping his true identity hidden in a world where betrayal is just a heartbeat away.
