Set in 1980's Chicago. Sal Molinari is a hardened detective who has lost all hope in humanity as the city is at an all-time low. Crime has taken over the city and with the addition of a new drug; C-4, overdoses are rising at alarming rates. Forced to partner with a new transfer, Sal and Detective Michaels are at odds when it comes to Sal's questionable street tactics. Sal travels through the underbelly of the city as he tries to gain information on who is supplying this new drug. With the pressure from work, along with his distant relationship with his daughter Dina, Sal seeks solace and comfort in Pepper, a hooker.
As Sal finally tries to gain his daughters approval, she ends up partying with some friends and takes C-4, overdosing. Her friends dump her on the front porch where she ends up in a coma. Sal decides to finally fight back and goes to extreme lengths to track down the supplier and put an end to the madness once and for all. Firstly, he finds her classmate who gives up his older brother Shadow, who is working for Duke, the man at the top of this epidemic.
