Assault on Precinct 13

In the waning hours of a bitter New Year’s Eve, Detroit’s oldest police station prepares to lock its doors for good. The building, a weather‑worn slab of brick and steel, becomes the unlikely arena for a night that feels both timeless and on the brink of collapse. A thinly staffed shift is led by a haunted sergeant, Jake Roenick, whose past failures linger like frost on the windows. He is joined by the grizzled veteran Jasper, the efficient secretary Iris, and a psychiatrist named Alex who tries to keep the thin veneer of order steady as a snow‑laden sky threatens to smother the city.

When a snowstorm forces a prison transport to seek shelter, three dangerous inmates—among them a charismatic crime lord, Marion Bishop—are temporarily housed within those same walls. The uneasy coexistence is shattered the moment masked gunmen breach the precinct, turning the quiet night into a siege. Outside, an anonymous gang of corrupt officers moves like a dark tide, intent on erasing the building and anyone inside. The atmosphere tightens into a claustrophobic pressure cooker, where the echo of gunfire blends with the howling wind, and the flickering fluorescent lights cast long shadows over faces that were once allies but now must confront an unfamiliar, common enemy.

Within the concrete maze, the line between law and outlaw blurs. Roenick is forced to consider an uneasy alliance, weighing the instinct to protect his precinct against the raw need for survival. Bishop and his fellow prisoners, accustomed to operating outside the law, become reluctant partners in a fight that tests loyalty, morality, and the thin thread that holds civilization together. The night pulses with tension, a stark reminder that when the walls close in, the greatest battle is often not against the enemy outside, but against the fear and mistrust that surge from within.
