Leon joins City on a Hill

Leon joins City on a Hill for the second season of the Showtime series, opposite Kevin Bacon and Aldis Hodge.

City on a Hill is set in early 1990s Boston when the city was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies in which corruption and racism was the norm. And then it all changed in what was called the “Boston Miracle.”

In this fictional account, Assistant District Attorney Decourcy Ward (Hodge) comes from Brooklyn and forms an unlikely alliance with a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran, Jackie Rohr (Bacon). Together, they take on a family of armored car robbers in a case that grows to involve and ultimately subvert, the entire criminal justice system of Boston.
