Here is a brief explanation, a more detailed one is in the spoiler if this strikes your interest.
This is a dystopian future where a power struggle is taking place in a massive hive city by the name of New Cincinnati. A group of police officers are being brought together on a special assignment to bring in, or bring down a crime boss who has ambitions to rule the city, one whose ambitions will come to fruition if he isn't stopped. The city itself is a crime ridden and corrupt place where the criminals outnumber the police ten to one and those in the government who aren't on the off the books payroll fight a losing battle against the tide of corruption, crime and addiction. Societal unrest is a huge factor in this city, terrorist attacks are becoming more frequent every year and revolutionary groups gain members as the poor in the city languish in squalor while the rich live within a bio dome in huge homes sipping martinis and going to clubs, all on the backs of the poor who they look down on. The technology in the RP will be quite advanced (think blade runner) and the journey to the final showdown will be full of twists, violence, interrogations and dubiously legal police action, so whats not to love. If interested, take a couple minutes and read the spoiler.
Once I establish the RP (After I get 6-7 people) I will provide a lot more information on the city itself such as info on the districts, technology, the government, the crime families and the recreational drugs that are sold by the families.

It's 2485, the earth is war torn and vast stretches of land are forever ruined by the fallout that has followed the nuclear wars of the three hundreds. Although the earth lies in ruin, humanity in it's stubborn nature has refused to die. While some live outside of the walls of the great hive cities, most people do not, instead they survive within massive cities stretching hundreds upon hundreds of miles in each direction.
As things change, they seem to stay the same, and as it has always been with humanity, some people live better than others. While some cities are affluent and beautiful testaments to architecture and city planning, others are dark, filthy and crime ridden and some are a mixture of both.
The city of New Cincinnati is the latter. The city, like it's peers, is a massive hive city, stretching out further than the eye can see. The city is separated into nine districts, each one more affluent than the last, and within the city, right under the surface is a power struggle between the establishment, the revolutionaries and the largest crime syndicate in the known world, known simply as The Family, or La Familia.
The Family is the most violent and ruthless of all criminal entities and it is ruled by an enigmas and mysterious man named Don Martin Lestreng, Lestreng's nickname in the streets is indicative of his ruthless nature, those who live in his districts call him the Devil's Son. Within the first of the four districts, where poverty is the nature of the people, is he rules with an iron fist, peddling his drugs to the growing population of addicts, and striking down any opposition to his rule of the streets. With his great power is an ambition and a vision, to rule the city of New Cincinnati.
Some oppose him however. The Enforcers are the finest law enforcement agency in the world. Equipped with the most modern weapons and crime fighting tactics on earth. The Enforcer doctrine at the moment is as simple as their fear striking name, find and detain Don Martin, or, if necessary, put a bullet in his head.
As all this takes place, political strife is a constant. Revolutionaries plot schemes on how to drop the corrupt government and extremist terrorists strike fear in the hearts of the populace with every month as bombs go off with increasing frequency.
The government is corrupt and at least half of those with power are one or more payrolls not included in their employment contracts, some are bought and paid for by the rich and the corporations that run the city, while others work for Don Martin and his fellow crime bosses, and some of the more daring and money hungry are on the take from multiple and sometimes conflicting sources.
The RP characters will be police or police informants, you don't have to be an Enforcer if you don't want to be one. The Enforcers are the SWAT of this city, there are still homicide cops, narcotics police and undercover cops, in one way or another you can get involved if you're any one of the four aforementioned due to the way I'm going to run this.
There will be a group of cops that get put together on a special assignment, the goal is to bring down this kingpin and to do so, interrogations will be done, heads will be cracked, wires will be tapped etc. So like or leave a comment if interested.
