Description: Sergeant Jake Roenick of the Detroit Police Department struggles with alcohol and painkiller abuse following a failed undercover operation. Now stationed as a desk sergeant at Precinct 13, he spends New Year’s Eve with a small team: officers Kevin Capra and Jasper O’Shea, secretary Iris Ferry, and psychiatrist Alexandra Sabian, who is evaluating Roenick’s fitness for duty. After Capra leaves, the precinct becomes a temporary holding site for notorious crime boss Marion Bishop and three other prisoners due to a snowstorm blocking their transfer to prison.
Soon, masked gunmen attack the precinct, cutting off communications and killing the deputies. Roenick and his team initially suspect Bishop’s involvement, but they discover the attackers are corrupt undercover police officers led by Captain Marcus Duvall. Bishop reveals that Duvall and his team are former partners seeking to eliminate him.
Outnumbered and outgunned, Roenick reluctantly allies with Bishop and the other prisoners to defend the precinct. Together, they fight off multiple attacks, leading to a tense standoff. Despite their differences, they unite against a common enemy, battling for survival in a night of chaos and betrayal.
