Summary
The Wire follows a single sprawling drug and murder investigation in Baltimore--one that culminates in a complex series of dangerous wiretaps and surveillance. Told from the point of view of both the police and their targets, the series captures a universe where easy distinctions between good and evil, and crime and punishment, are challenged at every turn.
