1974, New York City. Gratner Miller is a homicide detective whose days are defined by death and nights by personal failure. When he begins an investigation into the brutal murder of a
schoolgirl he begins to unravel a string of corruption, lies and depravity that leads him to question the motives of those in power at every level throughout the city, including his own. Sex,
drugs, lies, power, love and money are the touchstones of ‘American Vice: Fear City’, a study of devalued humanity.
