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"...
