A documentary series that gives viewers frontline access to the Miami Special Response Team (SRT). 

Kilometres away from Miami's famous beaches are some of America's meanest streets, which are home to a variety of violent and ruthless gangsters. However, standing in their way is the SRT - one of the best-trained elite police units in the world. They are armed with state-of-the-art weaponry and are leading the fight in America's war against crime.

Each hour-long episode captures a world where every day constitutes a fight for survival. On the surface, prison life is built on order and discipline. The prison guard shifts run like clockwork, as they closely monitor the inmates, and escort them back and forth from their cells.
