Every villain has a noble cause, and every hero has a dark side.
In the gritty new action-drama Gang Related, Detective Ryan Lopez is a rising star in Los Angeles' elite Gang Task Force. What the world doesn't know is that long before Ryan became a cop, he pledged allegiance to a different band of brothers – a powerful Latino gang called Los Angelicos.
When Ryan's best friend and police partner is senselessly killed by a notorious gang member, Ryan teams up with longtime Task Force member Cassius Green, who has been at the forefront of the city's war on organized crime. In this war between law enforcement and gangs, the series explores how only people who really know the streets can win the battle on the streets.
Daniel uses his wedding to finalize a deal between Javier and Lavar Quintel. Chapel leads his team into Mexico to find Matias, who he believes is responsible for a heinous murder.
Ryan has Javier make a deal with the D.A.'s office as the Metas begin to solve the mystery regarding Salazar's death. Meanwhile, Jessica reveals Ryan's secret to Ellis, and Daniel emerges as a leader within the Los Angelicos.
We learn there was more to Javier’s arrest than meets the eye, and Jessica makes a startling discovery about Ryan.
Ryan arrests Javier and, in doing so, proves his loyalty to the GTF. Across town, Daniel realizes he's lost all credibility in the banking industry and begins to embrace his true identity as the heir apparent to Los Angelicos.
An explosion set off by the Meta gang during a Los Angelicos festival leads to plans for retaliation. Tio Gordo kills a Meta gang member and word gets back to the head of the gang, who demands that Javier kill him to not further escalate the feud.
