The Wire Plot |
|
Set in Baltimore, this show centers around the city's inner-city drug scene.
It starts as mid-level drug dealer, D'Angelo Barksdale beats a murder rap.
After a conversation with a judge, Det. James McNulty has been assigned to lead
a joint homicide and narcotics team, in order to bring down drug kingpin Avon
Barksdale. Avon Barksdale, accompanied by his right-hand man Stringer Bell,
enforcer Wee-Bey and many lieutenants (including his own nephew, D'Angelo
Barksdale), has to deal with law enforcement, informants in his own camp, and
competition with a local rival, Omar, who's been robbing Barksdale's dealers and
reselling the drugs. The supervisor of the investigation, Lt. Cedric Daniels,
has to deal with his own problems, such as a corrupt bureaucracy, some of his
detectives beating suspects, hard-headed but determined Det. McNulty, and a
blackmailing deputy. The show depicts the lives of every part of the drug "food
chain", from junkies to dealers, and from cops to politicians... | |
