Demetrius Allison, a father of three in Louisville, Kentucky, becomes the entry point for an investigation into the Louisville Metro Police Department's narcotics unit. The film follows his case and others like it, laying out allegations that officers conducting drug raids stole cash and property from the people they searched, then buried the evidence in falsified paperwork. Interviews and case documents build a picture of a unit operating with little oversight, where raids meant to target dealers instead left ordinary residents robbed and traumatized, and where complaints against officers went nowhere for years. The film sits alongside the broader reckoning with LMPD that followed the Breonna Taylor case, using Allison's story to ask how systemic the misconduct really was and who, if anyone, was held accountable. It is a plainly told local exposé rather than a polished network production, built on testimony and paper trails rather than dramatic reenactment, and it stays focused on one department's specific failures.
