About NARC
NARC will make a bold statement as a gritty crime drama that offers an intense
and thought-provoking view into the seedy world of the war on drugs. Playing as
dual characters in the elite NARC squad%2, Jack Forzenski and Marcus Hill,
consumers have a seemingly simple choice; they can walk the line or they can
cross it.
Eight Rockland police officers are slain by a drug dealer tripping on an unknown
substance, during a routine traffic violation turned bloodbath. The DEA sends Dt.
Marcus Hill to help in the investigation. Marcus was once part of Rockland's
police force, until two years ago when his partner Jack Forzenski was kicked off
the force. Unable to reconcile his deteriorating relationship with Jack, Marcus
left for the greener pastures of the DEA. Now he must again work with his old
partner (who's back on the force), and Captain Ed Kowalski, his former boss.
Together, they investigate the new mystery drug, untangling a web of lies,
betrayals, secrets, and temptations.
