Show summary
Based on the critically acclaimed The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood, this Emmy-winning realistic miniseries focuses on three inhabitants of inner-city Baltimore: Gary McCullough, Fran Boyd and their 15-year-old son DeAndre, all of whom live on or near Fayette Street, a neighbourhood ravaged by the ubiquitous presence of drugs, addicts and street-corner dealers.

Once the embodiment of the American Dream, 34-year-old Gary McCullough has seen four years of drug addiction strip him of his money, his career and his family. When he's not crashing at his parents', Gary hangs around a dilapidated crack house and has one mission: to get his next drug fix. When he's not shooting up with his scheming girlfriend Ronnie (Tasha Smith), Gary scours the neighbourhood for heroin or a spare cigarette, swaps stories
with fellow addicts like Fat Curt (Clarke Peters) and Blue (Glenn Plummer), and scrounges for money by teaming
up with cohorts like Tony (Ron Brice).

Occasionally Gary encounters his ex-wife Fran Boyd (Khandi Alexander), who's got her own serious drug habit but who seems more determined to beat it, even as she's getting high with her sister Bunchie. Gary also runs into his 15-year-old son DeAndre (Sean Nelson), a smart kid who lives with his mom, has a girlfriend named Tyreeka,
and has a fledgling corner business selling cocaine for a dealer named Bugsy.
