Plot

In a time when Boston was the tumultuous playground of hardened criminals, the early 1990s saw the city's law enforcement agencies steeped in corruption and racial prejudice, emboldening the nefarious elements within its borders. This seemingly endless cycle of crime and corruption was interrupted with what became known as the 'Boston Miracle.' Our tale unfurls in this gritty backdrop, as we follow the ambitious assistant district attorney Decourcy Ward, a Brooklyn native, in his quest to cleanse the city. His journey leads him to form an unexpected alliance with Jackie Rohr, a tarnished yet revered FBI veteran, who is as familiar with the city's corruption as he is entangled within it. Their shared mission thrusts them into the murky waters of Boston's criminal underworld, beginning with a family of audacious armored car robbers. However, their pursuit of justice spirals into a labyrinthine plot that threatens to undermine the very fabric of Boston's criminal justice system. 'City on a Hill' is an immersive exploration of the blurred lines between righteousness and corruption, a riveting saga that highlights the struggle for justice amidst the seemingly insurmountable wave of systemic corruption. It's a tale of unlikely alliances and unwavering determination, set against the gritty backdrop of one of America's most historically troubled cities.
