Logline
The Kings Surrender
Big city gangs prone to gangs and a police force way out of control. When a police operation goes awry and two policemen die, the powder keg threatens to ignite. The SWAT team has only one goal: revenge – irrespective of the law. In a frenzied hunt for the perpetrator, it's everybody against everybody else, the whole neighborhood torn apart by one question: is it friendship or justice that really matters?
