Every celebrity has a noble origin, and every hero has a dark side. Detective Ryan Lopez is a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Taskforce. Exactly what the world doesn't know is that before Ryan turned into a fanatic, he pledged allegiance to an alternative band of brothers -- a strong Latino gang named Los Angelicos. When authorities partner and Ryan's companion is murdered with a gang member, Ryan teams up with Task Force member Cassius Green who has been on crime. Within this warfare between gangs and law enforcement, the series explores how people who really know the streets may win the conflict.
