New Jack Hustlers: New Jacks

When a new synthetic drug floods New York City, a promising young officer is sent undercover into the nightlife scene, where criminal innovation, institutional ambition, and personal survival collide—forcing her to decide who she’s willing to become to stay alive.

New Jack Hustlers is a gritty, contemporary crime drama set in New York City, where a powerful new synthetic drug quietly reshapes the streets and the institutions meant to police them. When a young officer, Simone Dorsey, is recruited into a covert task force and sent undercover as a bartender, she’s thrust into a nightlife ecosystem where access requires trust and survival demands compromise. As Simone embeds deeper, her operation collides with a disciplined criminal strategist building a modern drug empire designed to stay ahead of law enforcement, a desperate street-level player whose choices ignite violence and retaliation, and a task force strained by ambition, politics, and moral erosion.
