In a dark and corrupt world, the rich and powerful are the bad guys, while those who strive to bring them down are destined to fail.

Cymbeline (Ed Harris) is a powerful drug lord that one day decides he no longer wants to pay the police for their protection, pushing both sides to put their financial goals aside and embark in a bitter and desperate battle to rid the world of one-another.
