While conducting a raid of an illegal arms deal, detective Mew Mew discovers the body of a dead woman and her daughter who witnessed the murder. Believing that the girl may be in danger, Mew Mew seeks out her aunt Cher, and the three develop a bond, but Cher's ex-husband and a vengeful gunrunner soon show up to disrupt their short-lived peace.

VIBE

A melancholic crime thriller that blends gritty realism with unexpected warmth. It feels like a moody, character-focused drama where danger lurks beneath a fragile, found-family dynamic. Perfect for a contemplative, late-night watch.
