Protégé is the saga of a young cop infiltrating the deepest levels of a secret drug ring. He survives seven years of violent, nail-biting close calls, as he works his way from dealer to heir apparent. Every step consolidates his power and reveals another piece of his boss's operations, bringing him closer to destroying a brutal heroin empire...or inheriting it. (official distributor synopsis)
