The story takes place in Baltimore, a port city in Maryland, USA. The cunning and cruel drug dealer Ivan Barksdale controls all the drug trade in the west side of the city and the waterfront. His crimes are not limited to drug trafficking. Whether it is his own subordinates, the police or business opponents, everything that blocks the way is blocked. Everyone will face a deadly gun. With the assistance of the excellent economic acumen of Deputy Lassel Bell, Yiwen has not only flourished in the drug business, but also began to expand into legal businesses such as real estate.
As one of HBO’s highest-rated drama series, "FireWire" has been nominated for the best screenwriter of an Emmy drama twice. At that time, there were no big-name actors to join, and it was a hard-cold crime drama with blacks as the main group. The form of the narrative depicts the secret battle between the Baltimore drug trafficking network and the police. The cold and profound lines and the slow progress of the plot make it still an insurmountable peak of the script.
