But when she's trapped by the FBI and forced to inform on her own "brothers," she'll have to walk the fine line between love, loyalty, honor and betrayal, and try to keep it together for her daughter's future.
Six months after dual near-death experiences, Harlee and Wozniak have radically different reactions to their respective traumas.

At this existential crossroads, the crew responds to a midnight massacre that proves to have deep roots within the untouchable and corrupt Intelligence Division of the NYPD, headed by Capt. The crew walk a tightrope between justice and shielding a malevolent force within the NYPD, drawing Harlee toward the crucible of her life.
