This is based on a true story
Hired in 1981 at the young age of 20 he is quickly introduced to a darker side of the NYPD.
He manages to stave off temptation and stay true blue for six years.
By the mid 1980s cocaine and crack are running rampant and Eurell falls to the temptations of the street.
For six years Eurell and his buddies go unchecked protecting major drug organizations and eventually becoming drug dealers themselves until 1992 when the Suffolk county PD stumble onto a low level drug dealer that leads to Eurell and his former partners.
Suffolk county in cooperation with the NYPD internal affairs unit arrested all of the officers involved and 49 civilians. The probe included undercover drug buys and electronic surveillance. Twenty-five vehicles were seized also seized was an undisclosed amount of cash and drugs.
Eurells admitted involvement to the US Attorneys office Southern District
(which he later cooperated along with the DEA and Internal Affairs Department in an ongoing undercover probe of his former partners and Colombian drug lords) were purchases of up to one kilo when he broke away and began dealing himself.
Investigators are stunned when Eurell explains how they were protecting and assisting narcotics traffickers for weekly payoffs of $8,000.00.
While out on bail Eurell needed to explain to the DEA that his former partner wanted to continue their crime spree with a kidnapping/murder scheme and then a Butch Cassidy style escape to Nicaragua.
Eurell then becomes a CI for the DEA going back out on the streets wearing a wire to save the life of the intended victim.
These true events spawned the Mollen commission and is the NYPDs biggest scandal since Serpico and the Knapp commission.
