Skyler Fortgang

Ned is in the throes of a mid-life crisis. His work as a writer on an outrageous, semi-pornographic TV show is less than satisfying. His fifteen year old son has just told him he is gay and his eleven year old is afraid of, well pretty much everything. When his wife, Jeannie, moves her sick and embittered father from Detroit into their home in NY, it puts added stress on an already strained marriage. And when a sexy female co-worker puts the moves on Ned, the temptation sends him spiraling.

1970年代の初頭のニューヨークで、ハーレムを牛耳っているギャングのボスの運転手をしていたフランク・ルーカス(デンゼル・ワシントン)は、ボスの亡き後、東南アジアの麻薬を密輸する計画を決行する。時に横暴ともいえる強引なやり方で財力をつけたフランクは、マフィアにも一目置かれる麻薬王として街に君臨する。
