Im Vordergrund steht der Kampf des Morddezernats von Baltimore gegen die Drogenbarone der West Side. Daraus entwickelt sich ein umfassendes Sittenbild der amerikanischen Stadt zur Jahrtausendwende: Die Kids verkaufen lieber Drogen auf den Straßen, als an den schlecht ausgestatteten Schulen aufzutauchen. Ihre Eltern leben nur für den täglichen Schuss Heroin. Die Politiker werden mit den Drogengeldern geschmiert. Die Medien interessieren sich ausschließlich für große Schlagzeilen und die Polizeibosse nur für ihre Karrieren. So fehlen engagierten Cops wie Detective McNulty immer wieder die Mittel, um die kriminellen und skrupellosen Gangster hinter Gitter zu bekommen. Während die Polizisten frustriert resignieren, regieren auf den Straßen Baltimores weiterhin die Drogen.

The show sets out to analyse whether the standards that were integral to the school life of the time helped to produce better exam results, to the current GCSE results and to compare certain contemporary educational methods with modern ones.
As part of the experience, the participants are expected to board at a traditional school house, abiding by strict discipline, adopting to 1950s diet and following a strict uniform dress code.
After four weeks, the students then take their final exams, produced to the same standard as contemporary GCE O Levels.
