Broadway's Finest extended description (play trailer) 

Synopsis:
D.I.Y. is Deadly. The only thing more dangerous than being a cop is acting like one.

His accomplices, stone-cold killers to a man, were pitched into Mexican prisons for thirty years. The meanest sumbitch of them all, Rackham Greene, survived to walk free and now he's coming for his share. And he ain't much concerned with sentiments like mercy or forgiveness or honor.
