61st Street, a new crime drama, will soon feature drug busts gone bad, law enforcement cover-ups, and an exploration of corruption in the Chicago criminal justice system, among other things. When a narcotics bust goes bad and a police officer is killed, the show follows Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), a promising black high school athlete who is arrested by the police on suspicion of being a gang member. Moses must rely on his lawyer Franklin Roberts (Courtney B. Vance) to defend him against vengeful cops and prosecutors.
