Inspired by true events, Stingers reveals the shadowy world of undercover cops. These are police who defeat crime from inside the criminal world – always without a badge and frequently without protection. Behind enemy lines, the tools of the trade are lies, trickery and duplicity. Living literally on the edge, they must lie to those they love to protect them from harm.
