Stephen Kinigopoulos

A crime anthology film based on George Pelecanos' book of the same title.

It is 1999 in Bishop, a small town filled with secrets. Three sisters, Belle, Rachel, and Jessa are trying to cope with the absence of their mother and maintain a normal life. Silently repressing them is Rick, their damaged father who, adrift himself, is growing increasingly obsessed with the rapture that he believes is imminent. With home anything but a refuge, the sisters must cling to one another to survive.

Told from the points of view of both the Baltimore homicide and narcotics detectives and their targets, the series captures a universe in which the national war on drugs has become a permanent, self-sustaining bureaucracy, and distinctions between good and evil are routinely obliterated.
