ActionAdventureDramaThriller

Former CIA Operative James Dial is coaxed back into action to kill a terrorist in London, but it all goes wrong and he is forced into hiding, where he meets and befriends a 12 year old girl.

VIBE

A grim, grounded thriller that feels like a cold, hard slap. It’s a tense, morally ambiguous descent into the shadows, where trust is a luxury and survival is the only currency. Expect a bleak, unvarnished look at the consequences of a life lived in the dark.
